Summary

Loogootee High School is a small public high school in the rural town of Loogootee, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with 229 students as part of the Loogootee Community School Corp. For 2025–2026, the school ranked 160th of 415 Indiana high schools (61st percentile, 3 stars), down from 73rd percentile (4 stars) the prior year. Its history is up and down rather than steadily declining: it reached the 87th percentile in 2022–2023 and earned 5-star ratings in 2015–2016 and 2017–2018, but also had a 2-star year in 2016–2017.

Loogootee's clearest strength is science: 70.45% of students were proficient in Biology in 2025–2026, the highest among nearby schools and ahead of Barr Reeve Middle/High School (62.67%) and Springs Valley Community High School (60.94%). SAT results are the main concern. Evidence-based Reading and Writing came in at 43.48% and Math at 15.22% — both below the state and second-lowest locally, ahead only of Shoals Community High School. ERW fell sharply from 57.45% the year before. Loogootee's 93.8% graduation rate beats the state's 89.7%, though it is the lowest among the nearby schools listed, and its 13.0% chronic absenteeism rate is better than the state but above the district's 10.7%.

Resources look relatively favorable — $13,104 in per-student spending and a 12.4 student–teacher ratio — yet SAT outcomes trail several nearby schools. Within the school, male and special education students performed well above average in 2025–2026, while female students ranked in the 33rd percentile, a notable internal gap. Absenteeism has improved, dropping from 16.2% to 13.0%. Overall, Loogootee sits mid-pack regionally — behind Jasper High School and Northeast Dubois Junior/Senior High School, similar to North Daviess Junior-Senior High School, and ahead of Washington High School and Shoals.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Saturday, August 6, 2016

This school used to have potential but has fallen mightily the last few years. Constant administration changes have left faculty and students with no direction. Overemphasis on sports over academics, in terms of funding and value from its administration, gives its students false sense of value. There is little to no academic and college counseling which leads to students remaining in the area and never finding a better life. The school balloons its own pride and self-importance but students and faculty have no real academic competitiveness outside of the tiny southern Indiana bubble it finds itself (with ever-falling real estate values).
