Summary
Options Indiana is a public charter high school in Noblesville, Indiana, serving 612 students in grades 6–12 as part of Options Charter Schools, and it is larger than nearby alternative options such as Options Noblesville (183 students) and Excel Center - Noblesville (216 students), but much smaller than comprehensive high schools like Noblesville High School (3,291 students) and Carmel High School (5,239 students).
Academically, Options Indiana ranked 317th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 — the 24th percentile, or 1 star — which is still bottom-quartile but an improvement from the 10th–11th percentile range in 2020–2022. Its graduation rate was 40.3% in 2024–2025, far below the state’s 89.7% and the 95%–99% rates at nearby Noblesville High School, Carmel High School, Westfield High School, Hamilton Southeastern High School, and Fishers High School. Chronic absenteeism was 40.1%, more than double the state’s 16.7% and roughly three to four times the 10%–15% rates at those nearby comprehensive high schools. SAT Math proficiency was 6.31%, far below the state’s 25.6% and nearby comprehensive schools’ 24.07%–63.82%, while SAT EBRW was 37.84%, below the state’s 51.9% but above the district and Options Noblesville. Biology was 31.58%, above the district and Options Noblesville, though it has varied by year.
Other differences stand out. Options Indiana reports just 2.45% free/reduced lunch, much lower than Options Noblesville (10.38%), Excel Center - Noblesville (39.35%), and nearby comprehensive high schools (13.34%–28.65%), which can make poverty-based comparisons less direct. It spends $8,474 per student with a 26.9 student-teacher ratio, compared with Options Noblesville’s $21,124 and 8.8 ratio. One relative bright spot is special education: this subgroup reached the 64th percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025 and stayed near the middle in 2025–2026, well above the school’s overall percentile. Overall, Options Indiana has improved graduation and attendance from a very low base, but it still trails the state and nearby traditional high schools widely, especially in SAT Math, chronic absenteeism, and graduation.
