Summary

North White High School in Monon, Indiana, is the sole high school in the North White School Corp, serving 272 students in grades 9–12 in a small, high-poverty rural community.

Academically, it is ranked 341st of 415 Indiana high schools (18th percentile) with a 1-star rating. That is not a one-year dip: the school peaked at the 51st percentile with 3 stars in 2017–18 and has stayed around the 17th–21st percentile with 1 star for the last five rated years. On directly comparable measures, it trails every nearby high school: Pioneer Junior-Senior High School (96th percentile/5 stars), Frontier Junior-Senior High School (83rd), Rensselaer Central High School (73rd), Tri-County Junior/Senior High School (60th), Winamac Community High School (52nd), Twin Lakes Senior High School (46th), and West Central Senior High School (44th). The school’s 2025–26 results are 15.25% proficient in Biology, 37.5% in SAT Evidence-Based Reading & Writing, and 5.36% in SAT Math. The math figure is the starkest gap: the state is 25.6%, and even the weakest nearby school is 18.37%.

Chronic absenteeism is 29.6% (2024–25), about 1.8 times the state rate and 1.7 times its own district’s rate, and the highest among comparison schools. Poverty is also concentrated: 72.06% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the highest in the peer set. Per-student spending reached $17,248 in 2023–24, up about 31% in two years, second only to Tri-County Junior/Senior High School among nearby schools. The counter-trend strength is a 95.0% graduation rate (2024–25), above the state’s 89.7% and mid-pack among peers. The central story is a diploma–proficiency divergence: strong graduation rates alongside very low math proficiency and high absenteeism. The school has settled into Indiana’s bottom fifth, with math and attendance as the clearest areas to watch.

Open Quote As an alumnus of North White I give credit to the teachers and staff for preparing me for my education beyond high school. North White is a small student centered school. I was well prepared to enter college and complete college due to the great foundation that was started at North White. Even though, North White is a small school my educational experience gave me confidence to enter Purdue University and excel in my course of study. I am very proud of the fact that I am a North White graduate!

If you need proof of the caliber of students that attend North White do not look at ISTEP scores, they mean nothing. Instead look at the latest in a long line of accomplishments. North White Academic Teams are the State Champions in 5 out of 6 areas in the Indiana Academic Super Bowl. This is the first time the in history of the academic bowl this has been accomplished.
