Summary:
North Daviess Junior-Senior High School is the only high school in North Daviess Com Schools, serving grades 7–12 in Elnora, Indiana, with 464 students, so it is the sole public high school option in this area and its data blends junior high and high school results.
For parents, the school’s strongest outcomes are graduation and attendance. Its graduation rate is 97.1%, well above the state’s 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is 13.2%, better than the state’s 16.7%, though higher than the district’s 9.9%. Reading and English language arts are relative strengths: SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was above the state in both years with data, and 8th grade ELA was 45.71 versus the state’s 44 in 2025–2026. Math is the clearest weakness. ILEARN Math was 25.87 at the school versus 37.06 in the district; 7th grade math was 27.4 versus 35.9 statewide; 8th grade math was 24.29 versus 34.2 statewide; and SAT Math was 19.3 versus 25.6 statewide. The school’s all-grades ELA, 43.36, was also higher than its all-grades math, 25.87.
The school’s rank has fallen from 85th of 432, 80th percentile, 4 stars in 2023–2024 to 170th of 415, 59th percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026. It has 464 students, a 12.7 student-teacher ratio, $13,922 per-student spending, and 48.71% free/reduced lunch. Year over year, ILEARN Math improved by 7.52 percentage points, ELA by 1.59, Biology by 1.17, and SAT Math by 3.08, but SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing dropped 10.88 points, though it remained above the state. District all-grades ILEARN comparisons need caution because the school serves grades 7–12 while the district may include other tested grades; for 7th/8th and high-school tests, the state is often the more meaningful benchmark.
