Summary
Edinburgh Community High School is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in Edinburgh, Indiana, with 232 students, part of the Edinburgh Community School Corp. The district ranks 252 of 374 (33rd percentile, 2 stars), while the high school ranks 220 of 415 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — above the district but below the state median. It has improved from the 32nd percentile in 2021–2022, though it remains well below its 2017–2018 peak of 66th percentile (3 stars).
Academics are mixed. SAT Math proficiency has climbed sharply, from 12.96% in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to 26.47% in 2025–2026 — above the state's 25.6% and above most nearby schools, including Shelbyville Senior High School (26.03%), Franklin Community High School, Columbus East High School, Indian Creek Senior High School, Hauser Junior-Senior High School, and Southwestern High School; only Columbus North High School is clearly higher at 34.22%. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, however, fell to 47.06% in 2025–2026, below the state's 51.9% and most peers, and Biology remains a persistent weak spot at 28.57%, far below the state's 45.6%. The 96.3% graduation rate is a clear strength (state: 89.7%), but chronic absenteeism rose to 23.5% in 2024–2025.
Low-income students are a relative bright spot: the Low Socio-Economic Status subgroup ranks 112 of 390 (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, well above the school's overall standing, even though 48.71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Female students rank lower than male students (35th vs. 55th percentile in 2025–2026). Edinburgh spends $13,327 per student, among the highest locally, with a 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio. Overall, this is a small, mid-performing school with math momentum, strong graduation outcomes, and real effectiveness for low-income students, but clear challenges in Biology, reading and writing, attendance, and female-student outcomes.
