Summary:

The Hamilton Community Schools district in Indiana operates two schools: Hamilton Community Elementary School and Hamilton Community High School. The district as a whole ranks 229 out of 380 districts in Indiana and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Based on the data, Hamilton Community Elementary School appears to be the stronger performing school overall compared to the high school. The elementary school has higher proficiency rates across ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science tests, as well as higher SAT scores. It also has a higher 4-year graduation rate than the high school. Additionally, the elementary school has consistently ranked higher among Indiana elementary schools over the past 3 years, placing in the top 40% statewide, while the high school has seen its statewide ranking decline, now placing in the bottom 25% of Indiana high schools.

However, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8% in 2023-2024. The high school in particular is significantly underperforming, with only 33.75% of students proficient or better in ELA and 20% in Math across all grades in 2024-2025, well below the district average. This suggests potential issues with curriculum alignment, instructional quality, or student support at the secondary level that need to be addressed.
