Summary

Elwood Junior-Senior High School is a public school serving about 650 students in grades 7–12 in Elwood, Indiana, part of Elwood Community School Corp, a district ranked 318th of 374 in the state, with roughly 70.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, results are low. In 2025–2026, all-grades ILEARN proficiency was 15.98% in English language arts and 17.62% in math; SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 31.52% and SAT math 8.7%, less than half of Indiana's 25.6% SAT math rate. The school ranks 327th of 415 Indiana high schools (21st percentile, 1 star), below every nearby traditional public high school: Hamilton Heights High School (82nd percentile), Tipton High School (79th), Eastern High School (77th), Alexandria-Monroe High School (49th), Tri Central Middle-High School (48th), Frankton Junior-Senior High School (47th) and Madison-Grant Junior/Senior High School (37th). Elwood outperforms only the two Madison-Grant online schools.

Graduation is a relative bright spot: 90.9% in 2024–2025, above Indiana's 89.7% but below every nearby traditional high school (95.2%–100%). Chronic absenteeism, however, is 28.9% — far above the state's 16.7% and higher than nearby schools (8.1%–20.3%). Funding and class size don't appear to be the main gap: Elwood spends $12,273 per student, mid-to-high locally, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.6, lower than Eastern High School and Frankton Junior-Senior High School. The school was a 3-star, 58th-percentile school in 2015–2016 and has stayed mostly in the bottom quartile since, recovering somewhat from 10th percentile in 2020–2021 to 21st in 2025–2026. Effectiveness also varies by student group — special education students had a strong 4-star year in 2023–2024 but slipped in the two years after.
