Summary
Daleville Junior-Senior High School is a 7–12 public school in Daleville, Indiana, part of Daleville Community Schools, serving 435 students in a small-town area. In 2025–26, it ranked 86th of 415 Indiana high schools—79th percentile, 4 stars—while the district ranked 110th of 374 districts—71st percentile, 4 stars. Its rank history is volatile but generally strong: it peaked at 18th of 389 in 2018–19, dipped to 163rd of 429 in 2024–25, then rebounded to 86th of 415 in 2025–26.
For local comparison, Daleville is the second-ranked nearby comprehensive public high school after Yorktown High School, and it outranks Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School, Alexandria-Monroe High School, Cowan High School, Shenandoah High School, Anderson High School, and Indiana eSchool Academy 6-12. Indiana Academy for Sci Math Hmn is a selective statewide program, and the Excel Center - Muncie and Excel Center - Anderson are alternative schools, so they are not direct peers. Strengths include ILEARN ELA All Grades at 46.75 vs. district 33.96, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 55.71 vs. state 51.9, and SAT Math at 32.86 vs. state 25.6. Chronic absenteeism is 8.3% vs. state 16.7%, better than most nearby schools; among nearby comprehensive schools, only Yorktown was lower. Low-income students ranked 24th of 390—94th percentile, 5 stars—in 2025–26, a standout result.
Areas to watch: math is uneven. SAT Math is strong, but ILEARN Math All Grades is 33.77 vs. district 45.83, and 8th-grade math is 23.08 vs. state 34.2. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 78.6% vs. state 89.7% and below nearby schools, though prior years were strong: 92.6% in 2023–24, 100% in 2022–23, 95% in 2021–22, and 95.5% in 2020–21. If the drop persists, it is the biggest red flag. The school had 41.15% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, spent $11,351 per student in 2023–24, and had a 14.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25. Overall, Daleville offers strong ELA, SAT, attendance, and low-income-student results, with 8th-grade math and graduation as the main items to monitor.
