Summary

Bloomington High School North is a comprehensive 9–12 school serving 1,528 students on North Kinser Pike in Bloomington, Indiana, and is one of the two large flagship high schools in the Monroe County Community School Corp. It ranks 42nd of 415 Indiana high schools for 2025-2026 — the 90th percentile, with five stars — and posted a 93.6% graduation rate in 2024-2025, placing it firmly in the state's top decile for six straight reporting years.

Proficiency is well above state averages in every tested subject: 64.78% in SAT Evidence-based Reading & Writing (state 51.9%) and 41.49% in SAT Math (state 25.6%). North spends $13,755 per student with a 15:1 student-teacher ratio. Compared with its cross-town counterpart Bloomington High School South, North ranks slightly lower (90th vs. 95th percentile) and trails on graduation (93.6% vs. 97.6%), but it does so with a smaller student-teacher ratio and less per-student spending while serving a somewhat higher share of low-income students (35.6% free/reduced lunch vs. 30.2%). Nearby high schools such as Martinsville High School, Edgewood High School, Eastern Greene High School, Brown County High School, and Owen Valley Community High School sit between the 8th and 74th percentiles — a distinctly lower tier.

The clearest weakness is chronic absenteeism at 24.4% in 2024-2025, above both district (17.7%) and state (16.7%) rates, though it has improved from 32.4% over three years — roughly double the district's progress. Low-income students rank at the 67th percentile versus 90th for the school overall, a gap that widened since 2023-2024, and SAT Math slid roughly nine points from 2022-2023 before recovering to 41.49%. The city's alternative programs, Bloomington Graduation School and Excel Center - Bloomington, serve fundamentally different populations and are not true comparators.
