Summary

North Decatur Junior-Senior High School is a 7–12 school with 441 students in Greensburg, a small city in Decatur County in southeastern Indiana, and part of Decatur County Community Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 133rd of 415 Indiana high schools (68th percentile, 3 stars), placing it above the state median. Its history is a story of recovery: it earned an exceptional 29th of 409 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2021–22, then fell to the 31st–40th percentile in 2022–24 before climbing back to the 65th–68th percentile in 2024–26. Because it serves grades 7–8 as well, its ILEARN "All Grades" results include junior-high tests that 9–12 high schools do not report, limiting direct comparisons.

Graduation is a clear strength at 96.8% in 2024–25, above the district's 90.6% and the state's 89.7%, and far above same-district South Decatur Junior-Senior High School at 83.0%. Reading is also stronger than math: SAT evidence-based reading and writing is 58.11 (state: 51.9) and Grade 8 ELA is 57.35 (state: 44.0), while SAT math is 25.68, just above the state's 25.6. Math is mixed — Grade 8 math (42.65) is strong, but Grade 7 math (29.09) and All Grades math (36.59) lag. Biology is volatile, swinging from 57.95 in 2024–25 to 39.47 in 2025–26.

The clearest red flag is chronic absenteeism: 16.1%, close to the state's 16.7% but nearly double the district's 9.8% and higher than South Decatur Junior-Senior High School (10.7%), Batesville High School (8.1%), Greensburg Community High School (8.9%), and Waldron Junior-Senior High School (12.8%). Subgroup results vary widely — female students ranked in the 79th percentile while male students ranked in the 49th. Batesville High School (87th percentile) and Greensburg Community High School (76th percentile) are the local benchmarks North Decatur still trails, especially in science and attendance.
