Summary

West Central Senior High School is a small public high school in Francesville, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 203 students — by far the smallest high school in its area — as part of West Central School Corp.

Its clearest strength is graduation: 100.0% of students graduated in 2024–25, above the state's 89.7% and tied with Winamac Community High School for the best rate among nearby schools. Resources also look favorable. West Central spends $15,273 per student — the second-highest nearby — and has an 11.6 student-teacher ratio, the second-lowest in the group. Science has improved over time: Biology proficiency was 43.18% in 2025–26, third-highest among nearby schools, up from 15.28% in 2022–23. In the most recent subgroup data, low-income students ranked in the 70th percentile (4 stars), well above the school's overall 44th percentile, a positive signal that the school is relatively effective with economically disadvantaged students.

Concerns center on a two-year academic slide and attendance. SAT Reading/Writing proficiency fell from 71.74% in 2023–24 to 55.77% and then 42.86% in 2025–26, while SAT Math dropped from 34.78% to 19.23% to 18.37%; both are now below state averages (51.9% and 25.6%). The school's rank slipped from 83rd percentile (4 stars) in 2023–24 to 44th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism rose to 19.1%, above both the district's 16.2% and the state's 16.7%. In 2025–26, female students ranked in the 72nd percentile while male students ranked in the 26th. Among nearby schools, West Central trails Rensselaer Central High School, Kankakee Valley High School, and often Winamac, but outperforms North Judson-San Pierre High School in math and biology and North White High School in every reported subject. Because the school is so small, year-to-year percentages can swing widely with just a few students.
