Summary

Eastern High School is a 9–12 public high school serving 497 students in Greentown, Indiana, a small Howard County community, as part of the Eastern Howard School Corporation. It ranks 96th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 (77th percentile, 4 stars), placing it in the top quarter of the state and second locally behind only Northwestern Senior High School (87th percentile). Eastern peaked at the 94th–95th percentile with 5 stars in 2017–2018 and 2020–2021, dipped to the 71st percentile in 2024–2025, and recovered this year.

Two things stand out for families. First, graduation: 98.1% of students graduated in 2024–2025, far above Indiana's 89.7% and second only to Northwestern (100%) among nearby comprehensive high schools — ahead of Oak Hill High School (97.8%), Maconaquah High School (96.0%), and Kokomo High School (96.2%). Second, Biology: Eastern's 56.39% proficiency essentially ties Northwestern and leads every other traditional nearby school. Reading (59.02%) also beats the state's 51.9%. Subgroup results are unusually strong this year: special education students rank in the 92nd percentile (5 stars) and low-income students in the 88th percentile, after special education sat in the bottom quartile just two years earlier.

The clearest academic gap is math: 22.13% on SAT Mathematics, below the state's 25.6% and better locally than only Northwestern. Chronic absenteeism (14.3%) is better than the state (16.7%) but higher than the district's 10.5%, and higher than Northwestern's 6.4% and Oak Hill's 9.5%. Notably, Eastern achieves its results with mid-pack spending ($11,711 per student) and the largest classes among traditional nearby high schools, at 17.5 students per teacher.
