Summary:
Daleville Community Schools is served by a single high school: Daleville Junior-Senior High School, a grade 7–12 campus with 435 students located at 8400 S Bronco Dr in Daleville, Indiana, and part of the Daleville Community Schools district. Because it is the only high school in the district, there is no in-district peer to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons come from state averages and from the school's own performance over the past three years.
The school's current standing is strong. In 2025–2026 it ranked 86th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 79th percentile — and earned 4 stars, a clear rebound from 2024–2025, when it placed 163rd of 429 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 8.3%, well below the district's 9.1% and roughly half the state rate of 16.7%. Students also outperform the state in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing (55.71 vs. 51.9), SAT Math (32.86 vs. 25.6), and ILEARN ELA in both 7th grade (47.37 vs. 41.7) and 8th grade (46.15 vs. 44), as well as 7th-grade math (44.74 vs. 35.9). All Grades ELA jumped 14.47 percentage points year over year, from 32.28 to 46.75, and SAT Math climbed from 20.29 (below the state's 25.4) to 32.86 (above the state's 25.6).
The biggest concern is the graduation rate: at 78.6% in 2024–2025, it trails Indiana's 89.7% by 11.1 percentage points — a notable gap given the school's solid attendance and test results. Math is uneven, with 7th grade above state but 8th-grade math at 23.08% proficient versus the state's 34.2%. All Grades math sits at 33.77% and dipped slightly from 37.34%. For context, 41.15% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $11,351, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.7.
