Summary

Hobart High School in Hobart, Indiana, is a grades 9–12 public high school serving 1,320 students in the School City of Hobart, a mid-sized district in northwest Indiana. For 2025–2026 it ranks 177th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 57th percentile with 3 stars — while its district ranks 112th of 374, 70th percentile, 4 stars, meaning the high school is solidly mid-tier statewide but isn't the strongest part of its district's profile.

Compared with nearby schools, Hobart places second only to Wheeler High School (89th percentile) and ahead of Portage High School (36), Merrillville High School (22), River Forest High School (19) and Thomas A Edison Junior-Senior High School (13). Excel Center - Gary and Gary Middle College rank at the 3rd percentile but serve alternative populations, so they aren't useful comparisons. Hobart's 94.5% graduation rate is above the state's 89.7% and above Portage High School (94.4%) and Merrillville High School (91.2%), though below Wheeler High School (98.8%) and River Forest High School (96.8%).

In reading, Hobart's SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing score of 55.66% is above the state's 51.9% and second among nearby schools only to Wheeler High School (60.23%).
