Summary

Pendleton Juvenile Correctional is a small, non-traditional school in Pendleton, IN, operated by the Indiana Department of Correction, serving 180 students in grades 5–12. Its correctional setting is key context: it is not a typical neighborhood high school.

Academically, it has ranked near the bottom of Indiana high schools for years. In 2025–2026, it ranked 376th of 415—9th percentile with 0 stars—and its recent ranks generally fall in the bottom 1–11% of the state. Nearby Pendleton Heights High School, 2.82 miles away, ranked 43rd of 415 (90th percentile, 4 stars); Hamilton Southeastern High School ranked 13th of 415 (97th percentile, 5 stars); and Fishers High School ranked 9th of 415 (98th percentile, 5 stars). Math is the clearest weakness: reported ILEARN Math and SAT Math are exact 0% in the available years, while nearby conventional high schools report SAT math proficiency from about 23% to 59%. Even nearby alternatives are higher: Options Noblesville at 7.89%, Excel Center - Anderson at 9.09%, and Anderson High School at 10.96%. SAT reading was 27.27% in 2025–2026, versus 51.9% statewide.

Reported chronic absenteeism is 0.0% from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025, far below the state’s 16.7% to 21.1% and nearby schools such as Hamilton Southeastern High School at 10.2%, Fishers High School at 11.7%, Anderson High School at 38.0%, Options Noblesville at 63.7%, and Excel Center - Anderson at 99.0%. In a correctional setting, attendance is likely facility-controlled. The student-teacher ratio is also very low—6.0 to 7.6—compared with Pendleton Heights High School at 22.9, Noblesville High School at 16.6, and Fishers High School at 20.6. Yet low ratios have not produced high measured proficiency. Free/reduced lunch was 15.03% in the one reported year, lower than many nearby schools, but scores remain far below schools with higher rates, suggesting the correctional context matters more than poverty status alone. Overall, it is a very small correctional high school with bottom-decile academics, exact-zero math, low reading, unusually low reported absenteeism, and very low student-teacher ratios; direct comparisons to conventional schools are difficult.
