Summary

Medora Junior & Senior High School is a very small rural school in Medora, Indiana, serving grades 6–12 with 95 students as part of the Medora Community School Corp, a district ranked near the bottom of Indiana districts. The school itself also ranks near the bottom statewide, and it has the smallest enrollment and lowest student-teacher ratio (6.5) among nearby schools such as Orleans Junior-Senior High School, Mitchell High School, and Brownstown Central High School, whose ratios range from 12.4 to 17.3. The school also has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate nearby (67.37%) and spends $14,327 per student, more than most nearby schools but far less than Mitchell High School at $31,163.

Academically, results are generally low, especially in math. In 2025-26 ILEARN, all-grade proficiency was 20% in English Language Arts, 12.5% in Math, and 12.5% in Science, with grade-level math and ELA scores far below state averages. SAT Math proficiency was 0% in 2025-26—and has been 0% for three consecutive reported years—compared with nearby Crothersville Junior-Senior High School at 2.78%, West Washington Junior-Senior High School at 14.29%, and Orleans Junior-Senior High School at 12.77%. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 33.33%, near the bottom of the regional group.

Attendance is the other major concern: chronic absenteeism rose to 39.3% in 2024-25, up from 20.9% in 2020-21, the highest among nearby schools and more than double the state’s 16.7%. The bright spot is the graduation rate, which was 100% in 2023-24 and 2024-25, above the state and most nearby schools, though small cohorts make it volatile. The 2025-26 Biology End-of-Course result is suppressed by the state and cannot be evaluated. Overall, this is a small, high-poverty school with strong recent graduation rates but significant challenges in math proficiency and chronic absenteeism; improvement likely needs to focus on attendance and core math instruction.
