Summary

North Knox Junior-Senior High School is a public school in Bicknell, a small rural community in Knox County, Indiana, serving 541 students in grades 7–12 as part of the North Knox School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranked 282nd of 415 Indiana high schools (32nd percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the lower-middle of the state and of its local group — above Linton-Stockton High School and White River Valley High School, but below several nearby schools.

Graduation is the school's clearest strength. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 97.3% is well above Indiana's 89.7% and matches the district rate, trailing only Barr Reeve Middle/High School, Lincoln High School, Linton-Stockton High School, and South Knox Middle-High School among nearby schools. The rate has stayed consistently high, from 91.0% in 2020–2021 to 96.3% in 2022–2023.

Attendance and academic proficiency are the main concerns. Chronic absenteeism was 23.8% in 2024–2025 — above Indiana's 16.7% and most nearby schools — though it has improved from 31.4% in 2022–2023. Math is the largest academic gap: SAT Math was 14.71% versus the state's 25.6%, and 8th grade ILEARN math was 18.09% versus 34.2%. SAT reading/writing was 39.71% versus 51.9%. Subgroup results are uneven, with female students, low-income students, and special education students ranking in the bottom quarter of Indiana schools in 2025–2026, while male students reached the 48th percentile. About 56.93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — the most among traditional nearby schools — and per-student spending is $11,572, the lowest in that group.
