Summary

Francis Joseph Reitz High School is a public high school in Evansville, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 1,293 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. Its district ranks 258th of 374 in Indiana (31st percentile, 2 stars), yet Reitz itself ranked 101st of 415 schools (76th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26. The school has been a 4-star school in the 71st–80th percentile every year since 2020–21, up from a 3-star school in the 58th–67th percentile from 2015–16 through 2018–19 — a notable bright spot within a lower-ranked district.

Graduation is Reitz's most consistent strength: 94.4% in 2024–25, above the district's 88.3% and the state's 89.7%, and between 92.7% and 97.8% every year since 2020–21. Tested outcomes are strongest in Biology (55.63) and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing (54.43, above the state's 51.9). Reitz ranks essentially even with North High School overall and well ahead of William Henry Harrison High School, though it trails the smaller New Technical Institute and Central High School in the latest year. It also ranks below nearby North Posey High School, Castle High School, and Signature School Inc.

Two areas stand out as challenges. Chronic absenteeism was 24.9% in 2024–25 — above the district's 21.5% and the state's 16.7%, and far above North Posey (9.5%) and Castle (9.8%). SAT Math was 24.92, slightly below the state's 25.6 and well below New Tech (35.48), Central (35.43), and Castle (44.17). Subgroup school-effectiveness results are uneven: Hispanic students rank in the 88th percentile and Special Education students in the 74th percentile, a major gain from the 34th percentile in 2023–24, while multi-racial students rank in the 36th percentile. Free/reduced lunch is 42.07%, per-student spending is $11,641, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.5.
