Summary:

Lafayette School Corporation in Indiana has just one high school in this data set: Jefferson High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 2,042 students at 1801 S 18th St in Lafayette. Because it is the only high school listed for the Lafayette School Corporation, there are no other local high schools to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons are to the district, to Indiana statewide results, and to Jefferson's own past years.

Jefferson's clearest strength is its graduation rate: 87.7% in 2024–2025, identical to the district rate and only 2.0 percentage points below Indiana's 89.7%. Test scores are the bigger concern. SAT Math proficiency is 17.17% in 2025–2026 and 16.02% in 2024–2025, well below the state's 25.6% and 25.4%. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 44.64%, compared with 51.9% statewide. Biology ILEARN End-of-Course proficiency fell from 36.4% to 30.66% year over year, and it trails the district in both years as well. Chronic absenteeism, at 26.3%, is 9.6 percentage points above the state rate of 16.7% and 1.7 points above the district rate of 24.6%.

Jefferson has held a 2-star rating in each reported year, but its relative position has slipped from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to 39th in 2024–2025 and 37th in 2025–2026 (260 of 415 schools). The district itself is ranked 243 of 374. For context, 57.98% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,112, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.2. Overall, graduation is near the state average, while SAT Math, Biology, and chronic absenteeism are the areas to watch.
