Central Elementary School is the district's academic standout. Its all-grades ILEARN proficiency is 41.67% in English language arts and 49.54% in math, both above the district, and several grade-level results beat the state, including 3rd-grade math at 56.39% versus Indiana's 51.9% and 5th-grade math at 47.48% versus 42%. Its chronic absenteeism of 5.3% is the lowest in the district, far below the district's 12.2% and the state's 16.7%. Greendale Middle School shows a striking split: Biology End-of-Course proficiency reached 86.11% in 2024–2025 and 77.27% in 2025–2026, far above district and state levels, while math lags — 28.51% all-grades and just 18.67% in 8th grade versus the state's 34.2%. Its chronic absenteeism is 9.2%, also below district and state rates.

Lawrenceburg High School posts the district's best graduation statistic at 98.8%, well above Indiana's 89.7%, but SAT Math proficiency is only 16.48% versus the state's 25.6%, and its chronic absenteeism of 19.9% is the district's highest and above the state rate. It also has the highest per-student spending at $11,812 and the largest classes with a student-teacher ratio of 18.6, compared with 15.0–15.3 elsewhere. Lawrenceburg Primary School, serving PK–2, has no state test scores but a solid attendance signal at 10.2% chronic absenteeism. Overall, elementary math and attendance are strengths, secondary math is a clear weak point, and rank trends show both the high school and middle school recovering from a 2024–2025 dip.
