Summary

Greenfield-Central High School is a 9–12 public high school in Greenfield, Indiana, serving about 1,413 students as part of Greenfield-Central Com Schools, which makes it one of the larger high schools in its local comparison group.

Statewide, the school ranks 129th of 415 high schools — the 69th percentile with 3 stars — while its district ranks 116th of 374 districts, also 3 stars. Its academic profile splits sharply between reading and math. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 53.01%, above Indiana's 51.9%, but SAT Math is 23.21%, below the state's 25.6% — a roughly 30-point gap between the two subjects. Biology results have improved markedly, from 20.74% in 2022-23 to 50.17% in 2025-26, though still below the district's reported 57.27%. The graduation rate is 91.4%, above the state's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is 16.5%, close to the state's 16.7% but above the district's 12.6% — worth watching after a 2023-24 spike to 22.4%.

Compared with nearby schools, New Palestine High School and Mt Vernon High School both earn 4 stars and outperform Greenfield-Central across nearly every measure, while Triton Central High School is similar in overall rank but stronger in math and weaker in reading and biology. Greenfield-Central is clearly stronger than Warren Central High School and James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School. Notably, it enrolls a higher share of students from low-income families (37.23% free/reduced lunch) than several top local peers while spending less per student ($10,662) than every nearby traditional public school with available data. Its 15:1 student-teacher ratio has improved from 17.3:1. Among student groups, male and Hispanic students currently rank higher than the school overall, while Special Education and Multi-racial students rank in the lower half statewide; small group sizes make year-to-year swings less reliable.
