Summary

Covington Community High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 with 278 students in Covington, a small town in western Indiana, and is part of Covington Community School Corp. It ranks 113th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 (73rd percentile, 4 stars), and its district ranks 69th of 374 (82nd percentile, 4 stars). Covington has been consistently strong, earning 4 stars most years, a 5-star peak in 2020–2021, and a 3-star dip in 2021–2022. Current figures include a 93.2% graduation rate, 12.0% chronic absenteeism, 28.42% free/reduced lunch, $14,726 per-student spending, and a 12.9 student-teacher ratio.

Among nearby in-person high schools, Covington is the academic leader, holding the only current 4-star rating: Attica High School and Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School are at the 53rd–54th percentile with 3 stars, Fountain Central High School at the 46th with 2 stars, and North Vermillion High School at the 37th with 2 stars. Covington's district is also the strongest locally. Its SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency of 65.08% is the highest by a wide margin — Attica is next at 57.5% — and far above the state's 51.9%. SAT Math is 26.98%, essentially tied with Attica's 27.5% and slightly above the state's 25.6%. Graduation (93.2%) beats the state's 89.7% but trails Seeger (97.4%) and Fountain Central (95.3%); chronic absenteeism (12.0%) is better than the state's 16.7%.

Science is a relative weakness: Biology ILEARN proficiency of 40.26% is above Attica (22.92%) and Fountain Central (35.9%) but below North Vermillion (54.55%) and Seeger (70.3%), and was below the state in 2024–2025. Reading has slipped from a 75.41% peak in 2022–2023 to 65.08%, while math has stabilized after an earlier decline. Low-income students rank in the 85th percentile — above the school's overall 73rd percentile — even though the free/reduced-lunch rate (28.42%) is much lower than surrounding districts. Female students rank in the 83rd percentile versus the 59th for male students, a gap that widened this year. Southeast Fountain Virtual Academy, with 11 students and many missing results, is not a useful comparison.
