Summary

Silver Creek High School is a grade 9–12 public high school in Sellersburg, Indiana, serving 976 students in the Silver Creek School Corporation. In 2025–2026 it ranked 130th of 415 Indiana high schools (69th percentile, 3 stars), and its district earned 4 stars and ranked 73rd of 374 districts. The school's recent path has been uneven: it climbed from the 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2021–2022 to a peak of 75th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025, then slipped somewhat in 2025–2026 while staying above the state average.

Locally, Silver Creek placed third among nearby traditional high schools, behind Floyd Central High School (97th percentile, 5 stars) and William W Borden High School (78th percentile, 4 stars), and ahead of Charlestown Senior High School, Jeffersonville High School, New Albany Senior High School, Clarksville Senior High School, and Henryville Junior & Senior High School. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 95.1% is above Indiana's 89.7%. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is a signature strength: 55.79% proficient in 2025–2026 versus the state's 51.9%, and 66.67% in 2024–2025 versus 54.5% statewide, trailing only Floyd Central and Borden locally. SAT math is the weak spot at 23.55% in 2025–2026, below Indiana's 25.6%, though still second locally behind Floyd Central. Biology proficiency (47.12%) is mid-pack locally.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern: 22.4% in 2024–2025, above Indiana's 16.7% and well above the district's 12.3%, though improved from 27.2%. About 31.97% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school spends $10,440 per student with a 16.0 student-teacher ratio—moderate figures that still produce outcomes stronger than several higher-spending neighbors. Effectiveness scores for low-income students rose to the 74th percentile, but special education effectiveness slipped to the 55th percentile. Overall, Silver Creek is a solid upper-mid-performing high school with strong reading results and graduation rates, and math and attendance as its biggest opportunities.
