Summary

Sheridan High School is a public high school located in Sheridan, Indiana, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 336. The school is part of the Sheridan Community Schools district, which is ranked 128 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan High School has shown a mixed performance in academic metrics compared to the state and nearby schools. While its ILEARN/Biology proficiency rates have improved from 33.73% in 2022-2023 to 62.96% in 2024-2025, its SAT performance in Evidence-based Reading and Writing (46.15%) and Mathematics (20.51%) for the 2024-2025 school year lags behind the state and nearby high-performing schools like Zionsville Community High School and Carmel High School. However, the school has a relatively strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as female students and special education students, and has shown strong four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.2% in 2022-2023 to 98.7% in 2023-2024.

One area of concern for Sheridan High School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.0% to 20.3% over the past few years, which are higher than the state average and some nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 33.13% to 38.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of nearby high-performing schools. These factors may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school to support its students and improve their academic outcomes.
