Summary:

Paoli Community School Corp in Indiana includes two schools serving roughly 1,235 students in total: Throop Elementary School for grades K–6 and Paoli Junior & Senior High School for grades 7–12, with no middle school or alternative school appearing in this data.

Throop is the stronger of the two on standardized tests. In 2025–26 it reached 38.03% proficient in ELA and 41.41% in math, both above the district, and its 6th grade ELA (51.81%) and science (57.83%) results beat the state. Still, its results swing widely by grade: 4th grade ELA (25.51%), 5th grade math (22.83%), 4th grade science (33.67%) and 5th grade social studies (38.04%) all fall below state levels. The high school shows the opposite pattern. Its graduation rate is 96.7% and chronic absenteeism only 8.8%, both better than district and state, but ELA (32.37%) and math (27.75%) sit below the district, and 8th grade ELA (29.49%) and math (21.79%) trail the state.

SAT math is the high school's biggest weak spot: 12.77% proficient in 2025–26 against 25.6% statewide — improved from 7.55% the prior year, yet still roughly half the state rate. Rank trends also diverge: Throop holds 48th percentile and 2 stars, while the high school slipped to 1 star and 28th percentile. The high school spends more per student ($12,347) and has smaller classes, yet Throop generally shows stronger proficiency. Across both schools, Paoli Community School Corp ranks 240 of 374, or 36th percentile, with 2 stars.
