Summary

Winchester Community High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Winchester, a small community in eastern Indiana, with 399 students in the Randolph Central School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranked 264th of 415 Indiana high schools — 36th percentile, 2 stars — a rebound from a 1-star year in 2024–2025 (303rd of 429), though still below its 2020–2022 performance, when it sat around the 52nd percentile with 3 stars.

Graduation is a strength: 95.5% in 2024–2025, above Indiana's 89.7%. Chronic absenteeism, at 21.6%, is above both the state (16.7%) and district (16.0%) and has swung widely year to year — though Jay County Junior/Senior High School (29.6%) and Monroe Central Junior-Senior High School (24.7%) are higher, while Northeastern High School (9.7%) and Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School (13.6%) do much better. Test scores are mixed. SAT math jumped to 19.1% from 8.91% the prior year — still under the state's 25.6%, but second among nearby schools behind Jay County (22.1%). SAT reading and writing (44.94%) trails the state's 51.9% and sits mid-pack locally. Biology is a clear weakness at 30.4%, well below Randolph Southern (72.41%), Wapahani High School (64.04%), and Jay County (62.5%).

Resources look relatively favorable: 42.86% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, spending is $14,003 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.1. Among nearby traditional high schools, Winchester ranks in the middle-to-lower group — ahead of Northeastern, Union City Community Junior/Senior High, and Union Junior & High School, but behind Wapahani, Jay County, Randolph Southern, and Monroe Central. Female students have generally ranked above the school overall, while male students have ranked below it. The key things to watch are whether the math gain holds, whether absenteeism comes down, and whether reading and biology proficiency improve.
