Summary
Winamac Community High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Winamac, Indiana, with 345 students in the Eastern Pulaski Community School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranked 199th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 52nd percentile, 3 stars — down from a recent high point in 2023–2024, when it ranked 102nd of 432 (76th percentile, 4 stars). Its district ranks 125th of 374 Indiana districts.
Locally, Winamac sits in the middle-to-upper pack: above Caston, West Central, North Judson-San Pierre, Knox, Culver, and North White, roughly even with Rochester Community High School, and behind Pioneer Junior-Senior High School, the clear area standout. Its strongest numbers are graduation (100% in 2024–25, versus 89.7% statewide, matching Rochester and West Central for the top local rate) and math: SAT Math proficiency was 23.19% in 2025–26, below the state's 25.6% but second among nine nearby schools behind Pioneer's 46.88%. The clearest concern is English/language arts. SAT EBRW fell from 55.56% in 2023–24 to 49.4% in 2024–25 to 39.13% in 2025–26 — nearly 13 points below the state and fifth locally. Chronic absenteeism, at 15.1% in 2024–25, is better than the state's 16.7% but above the district's 8.8%, though it has improved sharply from pandemic highs above 31%.
Winamac appears to serve its low-income students comparatively well: that subgroup ranked 102nd of 390 (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, above the school overall, and special education students rose from the 25th to the 50th percentile. The school does this with modest resources — $12,347 per student in 2023–24, second lowest locally (Rochester spends $29,188), with a student-teacher ratio of 11.1 in 2024–25. With only 345 students, year-to-year swings are expected. The highest-leverage areas look like SAT EBRW and attendance.
