of 415 Indiana High Schools

Better than 24% of Indiana high schools

Summary

Eastern High School is a small rural high school in Pekin, Indiana, serving 392 students in grades 9–12 as part of East Washington School Corp. In 2025–26 it ranked 315th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 24th percentile with 1 star. That is a sharp drop from 220th of 429 (49th percentile, 2 stars) the year before, and it is the lowest rank among the nearby comparison schools in this group.

Test results are the biggest concern. Only 31.25% of students were proficient in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, versus 51.9% statewide, and just 7.5% in SAT Math, versus 25.6% statewide — both the lowest among nearby schools and steep one-year declines. Biology proficiency was 37.14%, better than Henryville Junior & Senior High School but below most peers. Chronic absenteeism was 35.4%, more than double the state's 16.7% and essentially tied with Scottsburg Senior High School for the highest nearby. On the positive side, the 90.4% graduation rate edges above the state's 89.7%.

Every reported student group ranked below the state median, with Special Education students lowest at the 6th percentile and 0 stars, while lower-income students were relatively best served at the 32nd percentile — above the school's overall 24th. Resources do not obviously explain the gap: Eastern has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (29.34%) than most neighbors, mid-to-high spending of $11,945 per student, and a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio. Similar-size William W Borden High School, with comparable poverty levels, ranks in the 78th percentile with much higher SAT scores. The clearest priorities appear to be attendance, math and SAT readiness, and stronger special education and core instruction.
