Summary:
Eastern Pulaski Community School Corp is a small rural Indiana district with three schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade — one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — enrolling about 1,057 students, and it ranks 125 of 374 Indiana districts at the 67th percentile with 3 stars.
Each school stands out differently. Winamac Community Middle School has the highest current rank percentile at 69 (3 stars), above the district's 67th percentile, and its 7th- and 8th-grade ELA results are the strongest in the data (57.14% and 63.22% proficient). Still, it has slipped from the 80th to 74th to 69th percentile and from 4 stars to 3. Eastern Pulaski Elementary School is the largest school (473 students) and has by far the best attendance — 4.9% chronic absenteeism versus 8.8% district and 16.7% state — plus strong math and science, though its 5th grade lags in ELA, math, and especially social studies (30.26% vs 47.2% statewide). Winamac Community High School posts a 100% graduation rate and improved Biology results (40.43% to 49.28%), but has the lowest current rank percentile (52), and its 2025–26 SAT Reading/Writing (39.13%) and Math (23.19%) fall below state averages.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level — 4.9% elementary, 8.0% middle, 15.1% high. Spending and staffing also do not map neatly onto outcomes: the middle school spends the most per student ($13,081), while the high school spends the least ($12,347) and has the smallest classes (11.1 students per teacher). The district's single 3-star, 67th-percentile rating masks school percentiles ranging from 52 to 69, so parents should weigh each school's own trend rather than the district average alone.
