Summary

Sheridan High School is a small public high school in Sheridan, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with 344 students in the Sheridan Community Schools district. It ranks 60th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 (86th percentile, 4 stars), a rebound from 66th percentile in 2024–2025. The school is far smaller than nearby suburban high schools such as Carmel High School (5,239), Noblesville High School (3,291), Westfield High School (2,948), and Zionsville Community High School (2,338), but similar in size to Tipton High School (437). About 41.28% of its students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, a higher share than most nearby traditional public schools.

Academically, Biology scores improved sharply to 65.52% in 2025–2026 — above Tipton High School (54.44%) and Hamilton Heights High School (60.19%) but below the large suburban high schools. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing reached 60.71%, above the state's 51.9% and essentially tied with Hamilton Heights High School (60.49%), after dipping to 46.15% the previous year. SAT Mathematics is the clearest weakness: 26.19%, barely above the state's 25.6%, below Tipton High School's 30.53%, and far below Noblesville High School (40.35%), Westfield High School (53.1%), Carmel High School (63.82%), and Zionsville Community High School (64.37%). Sheridan's 95.2% graduation rate in 2024–2025 beats the state's 89.7%.

Chronic absenteeism is the standout concern: 23.2% in 2024–2025, well above the district's 15.5% and the state's 16.7%, and roughly double the rates at nearby traditional public high schools such as Zionsville Community High School (8.8%), Westfield High School (9.9%), Tipton High School (10.6%), Carmel High School (11.5%), Noblesville High School (13.1%), and Hamilton Heights High School (14.6%). At the same time, Sheridan spends $16,370 per student — the most among these schools — and has the lowest student–teacher ratio at 11.2, which may support its strong results for students with disabilities (94th percentile, 5 stars) and low-income students (79th percentile). Math and attendance remain the areas to watch.
