Summary:

Tipton Community School Corp is a small Indiana district with three schools serving PK–12: Tipton Elementary School (PK–5, 621 students), Tipton Middle School (6–8, 308 students), and Tipton High School (9–12, 437 students), totaling 1,366 students. The district ranks 80th of 374 Indiana districts, in the 79th percentile with 4 stars, and its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate is 11.9%, below the state’s 16.7%.

Tipton Elementary School is the academic standout: its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency is 53.47% in ELA, 65.02% in math, and 55.05% in science, above the district in all three all-grade subjects and above the state in every listed grade-level result. Its rank improved from 405th of 1,011 in 2023–2024 to 184th of 1,015 in 2025–2026, moving from 3 to 4 stars. Tipton High School stands out for outcomes: a 100.0% graduation rate versus the state’s 89.7%, 10.6% chronic absenteeism, 4 stars, and SAT Math at 30.53% versus the state’s 25.6%. Tipton Middle School is the relative lag: its 2025–2026 rank is 227th of 486, the 53rd percentile with 3 stars, and its all-grade proficiency is below the district—ELA 37.04%, math 30.96%, and science 43.24%. Bright spots include 8th grade ELA at 46.43% versus the state’s 44% and 6th grade science at 43.24% versus the state’s 41.2%.

The district is strong overall but uneven by level. The elementary-to-middle academic drop is notable, especially in math, with a 34.06 percentage-point gap between elementary and middle all-grade proficiency. Tipton Elementary School is improving quickly, while Tipton High School has excellent completion and attendance outcomes. Tipton Middle School is the clearest improvement target: it is below the district in all-grade ELA, math, and science, and has the district’s highest chronic absenteeism at 13.0%, though still below the state. Spending and staffing do not line up simply with outcomes: middle and high school spend $13,547 and $13,629 per student versus $9,513 at the elementary, with lower student-teacher ratios, yet the middle school has the weakest proficiency results—likely reflecting different staffing models and different exams. Attendance is a district strength, with all three schools below Indiana’s 16.7%.
