Summary

Kokomo High School is a comprehensive 9–12 public high school in Kokomo, Indiana, serving about 1,393 students — the largest school in its local comparison group — as part of the Kokomo School Corporation. The district ranks 278th of 374 in Indiana (26th percentile, 1 star). The school's own state ranking has hovered in the bottom quartile for years, though it has improved from the 10th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 27th percentile in 2025–2026, and it remains below most nearby comprehensive high schools.

Outcomes are mixed. The 2024–2025 graduation rate is 96.2%, above Indiana's 89.7%. But chronic absenteeism is 42.8%, more than double the state rate of 16.7% and far above nearby Northwestern Senior High School (6.4%), Tipton High School (10.6%) and Eastern High School (14.3%). Test scores lag: 2025–2026 SAT ERW proficiency is 38.77% versus the state's 51.9%, SAT Math is 16.31% versus 25.6%, and Biology ILEARN is 15.6% — nearby schools with reported data range from 41.67% to 68.85%. About 52.05% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a higher share than at Tipton High School, Eastern High School, Western High School or Northwestern Senior High School. Spending is $14,322 per student, the most among traditional nearby schools, with a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio — so resources and class size alone are not separating it from higher-performing peers.

A genuine bright spot: English language learners rank in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, among the strongest in the state. Most other student groups rank in the bottom quartile. Nearby high performers — Western High School (92nd percentile), Northwestern Senior High School (87th), Tipton High School (79th) and Eastern High School (77th) — serve lower-poverty populations with much better attendance. Kokomo Virtual Academy shares the district but is a different model: 199 students and a 50.0% graduation rate.
