Summary:
Knox Community School Corp is a small Indiana district serving about 1,673 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–4), one middle (5–8), and one high school (9–12) — with no alternative schools listed. The district as a whole ranks 245 of 374 in Indiana, placing it in the 34th percentile with 2 stars.
Each school tells a different story. Knox Community Elementary School has the strongest profile: it ranks 523 of 1,015 (48th percentile), posts the best all-grade math (52.1%) and science (44.25%) results in the district, and has remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 3.0% — far below the district's 5.6% and the state's 16.7%. Notably, it achieves this with the lowest per-student spending ($10,080) and the largest classes (18.4 students per teacher). Knox Community Middle School ranks 306 of 486 (37th percentile), with 7th grade as a clear weak spot — only 20.97% proficient in ELA and 21.77% in math — though its Biology End-of-Course result of 80% stands far above the district's 43.61%. Knox Community High School ranks 297 of 415 (28th percentile, 1 star) and has slipped from the 38th percentile two years ago. It graduates 96.8% of students, above the state's 89.7%, yet SAT proficiency trails well behind state levels in both reading/writing (35.54% vs 51.9%) and math (14.05% vs 25.6%).
For parents, the key patterns are these: attendance is a district-wide strength, with every school below the state's 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate; the elementary school is the standout for math and science; and the middle school's 7th grade and the high school's college-readiness scores are the areas most in need of attention. Because the schools take different exams at different grade levels, and the middle school's free/reduced lunch figure is unavailable, comparisons between schools should be made with care.
