Summary

Hamilton Heights High School is a public high school in Arcadia, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with 710 students as part of Hamilton Heights School Corp. In 2025–26 it ranked 74th of 415 Indiana high schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars), down from 41st of 429 (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–25 but far above its 2020–21 rank of 217th of 388 (44th percentile, 2 stars). Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 95.2%, above Indiana’s 89.7%; chronic absenteeism was 14.6%, below the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 11.2%. About 28.31% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.7.

Compared with nearby schools, Hamilton Heights is stronger than Elwood Junior-Senior High School, Options Noblesville, Options Indiana, and Excel Center - Noblesville, whose school-level test scores are not reported. It is similar in overall rank to Sheridan High School, Tipton High School, and Lapel Senior High School, though Tipton had a 100% graduation rate and Hamilton Heights generally has stronger reading and biology results. It trails Westfield High School (98th percentile, 98.2% graduation) and Noblesville High School (95th percentile, 98.5% graduation), which also have higher reading and math proficiency and lower absenteeism. Hamilton Heights’ free/reduced lunch rate is similar to Noblesville High School’s and higher than Westfield High School’s.

Reading and biology are relative strengths: SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency was 60.49% in 2025–26 and 66.86% in 2024–25, both above the state, while biology was 60.19% in 2025–26 and 64.92% in 2024–25, compared with the state’s 45.6% in 2024–25. Math is the clearest weakness: SAT Math proficiency was 24.07% in 2025–26, slightly below the state’s 25.6%, though it was 30.23% in 2024–25. Subgroup support is a major positive, especially for special education students, who rose from 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2023–24 to 79th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–26, and low-SES students, who ranked in the 77th–88th percentile over three years. Reducing absenteeism and raising math achievement are the most logical next steps.
