Summary
Frankfort High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 with 922 students in Frankfort, Indiana, part of Community Schools of Frankfort, and is one of the larger high schools in its immediate region.
In 2025–2026, it ranked 319th out of 415 Indiana high schools (23rd percentile, 1 star), while its district ranked 248th out of 374 districts (34th percentile, 2 stars). The school’s graduation rate is 92.1%, above Indiana’s 89.7%, but lower than every nearby high school. Academic proficiency is the clearest concern: 30.7% of students were proficient in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing and 10.09% in SAT Math, both far below state averages and the lowest among nearby schools. Biology proficiency was 34.3%, also the lowest nearby. Math has been the weakest subject for several years. Chronic absenteeism is 21.6%, above the state’s 16.7% and higher than most nearby schools, though it has fallen from 43.5% in 2020–2021.
The school’s context helps explain challenges but not fully: 53.8% of students receive free/reduced lunch, the highest among nearby schools, and per-student spending was $10,295, second-lowest in the comparison group; the student-teacher ratio is moderate at 14.4. Notably, Western High School spends less ($9,932) yet ranks much higher, so resources alone don’t tell the whole story. Subgroup results show English Language Learner students at the 47th percentile (2 stars), a relative strength, while Special Education students are at the 7th percentile (0 stars), a major equity concern. The high school also ranks below its own district. Overall, the school has an above-state graduation rate and improving attendance, but it needs focused support in math, special education, and attendance to close wide gaps with surrounding schools.
