Summary
Floyd Central High School in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, is a grades 9–12 public school with 1,785 students in the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district. It ranks 14th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026—the 97th percentile with 5 stars—and has stayed top-tier for years, including 12th of 429 in 2024–2025. It also outperforms its own district, which ranks 102nd of 374 districts at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars.
Academically, the school leads the region. In 2025–2026, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency was 72.35%, versus 57.51% in the district and 51.9% statewide; SAT Math was 41.23%, versus 28.69% district and 25.6% state; and ILEARN Biology was 72.77%, versus 59.24% district. Among nearby schools, the next highest SAT Reading results were Lanesville Junior-Senior High School at 69.23%, William W Borden High School at 67.86%, and Silver Creek High School at 55.79%. Its graduation rate was 99.7%, compared with 96.3% district and 89.7% state, and chronic absenteeism was 8.5%, compared with 16.3% district and 16.7% state—lower than every nearby school shown.
Subgroup effectiveness is strong, especially for special education students (5th of 292, 98th percentile in 2025–2026) and low-income students (88th–96th percentile recently). Context matters: 19.16% of students received free/reduced lunch, lower than nearby schools, while per-student spending was $10,649 and the student-teacher ratio was 18.9—mid-pack locally, not unusually favorable. Compared with same-district New Albany Senior High School, which has similar enrollment but ranks 237th of 415 at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars, it has much higher graduation, attendance, and test results while spending slightly less per student. That does not prove causation, but it shows the results are not simply explained by higher spending or smaller classes.
