Summary

William Henry Harrison High School is a grades 9–12 school in Evansville, Indiana, serving about 1,332 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, where it ranks in the bottom third of Indiana high schools. In 2025–2026, William Henry Harrison High School was 286th of 415 high schools — 31st percentile with 2 stars — matching the district’s 31st percentile, 2-star ranking. Its best recent year was 2015–2016, when it reached 58th percentile and 3 stars; since then it has mostly hovered around the 30th–32nd percentile, though it has edged up from 302nd in 2023–2024 to 286th in 2025–2026.

Academic proficiency is below the district, state, and nearly all nearby comprehensive high schools. In 2025–2026, only 36.09% were proficient in Biology and 36.54% in SAT ERW, while SAT Math was 15.58% — far below the district’s 22.76% and the state’s 25.6%. Among nearby schools, North High School (27.41% SAT Math), Francis Joseph Reitz High School (24.92%), Central High School (35.43%), New Technical Institute (35.48%), Boonville High School (23.18%), Castle High School (44.17%), and Signature School Inc (90.11%) all exceeded this school in math. Chronic absenteeism is the most urgent red flag: 35.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared with 21.5% districtwide and 16.7% statewide, and higher than every compared nearby school.

One relative strength is graduation: 91.3% in 2024–2025, above the district’s 88.3% and the state’s 89.7%, though lower than several nearby comprehensive high schools. Economic need is high — 52.78% qualified for free/reduced-price lunch — yet per-student spending was $11,969 and the student-teacher ratio was 15.7, so resources are not obviously lower. The clearest bright spot is special education subgroup effectiveness, which jumped to the 65th percentile in 2025–2026 from the 14th percentile in 2024–2025, while English Language Learner results have been volatile. Overall, the school shows narrow signs of improvement but still faces major attendance and math challenges.
