Summary:
Daleville Community Schools in Indiana serves roughly 988 students across just two schools — Daleville Elementary School for grades K–6 (553 students) and Daleville Junior-Senior High School for grades 7–12 (435 students), with no standalone middle school. The district ranks 110 of 374 in Indiana, placing it at the 71st percentile with 4 stars, but that overall rating blends two quite different school profiles.
The junior-senior high is the clear academic standout, ranking 86 of 415 schools in 2025–26 — the 79th percentile with 4 stars — up from the 62nd percentile and 3 stars the prior year. Chronic absenteeism is 8.3%, below the district's 9.1% and far below the state's 16.7%. It beats the state in SAT reading and writing (55.71% vs. 51.9%), SAT math (32.86% vs. 25.6%), 7th grade ELA (47.37% vs. 41.7%), 8th grade ELA (46.15% vs. 44.0%), and 7th grade math (44.74% vs. 35.9%). Two areas need attention: the graduation rate is 78.6% against the state's 89.7%, and 8th grade math is 23.08% versus 34.2% statewide.
The elementary school ranks 572 of 1015 — the 44th percentile with 2 stars — and its rank has moved between 44th and 50th percentile over three years. Its brightest spot is 3rd grade math at 80.95% proficient, far above the state's 51.9%, and its all-grades math (51.53%) tops the district's 45.83%. ELA, however, trails the state in every tested grade: 3rd at 35.71% vs. 40.8%, 4th at 22.09% vs. 42.2%, 5th at 32.53% vs. 42.2%, and 6th at 20.55% vs. 41.3%. The elementary also has higher free/reduced lunch (58.41% vs. 41.15%), larger classes (18.1 vs. 14.7 students per teacher), and lower per-student spending ($8,911 vs. $11,351) than the high school.
