Summary

Austin High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Austin, Indiana, with 429 students in Scott County School District 1. The school has ranked in Indiana’s bottom quartile, placing 311th of 415 (25th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026 after 298th of 429 (31st percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025. Its district is ranked 298th of 374. Two bright spots are completion and attendance: the graduation rate reached 91.9% in 2024–2025, above the state’s 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism was 14.3%, below the state’s 16.7% and much lower than the nearby-school average. Per-student spending was $12,022 in 2023–2024, slightly above the nearby average, and 46.15% of students received free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, roughly average for the area.

Academic proficiency remains the main concern, especially in math. In 2025–2026, SAT Math proficiency was 9.09%, compared with about 14.8% for nearby schools and 25.6% statewide. SAT ERW was 39.39%, below the nearby average of about 44.4% and the state’s 51.9%. Biology ILEARN was 27.68%, down sharply from 44.12% the prior year and below most nearby schools. A revealing comparison is Scottsburg Senior High School, 4.15 miles away, which ranked 141st of 415 and outperformed the school in SAT Math (27.85%), SAT ERW (48.73%), and Biology (47.79%) despite similar poverty levels and lower per-student spending. At the same time, Austin High School outperforms its closest neighbor, Crothersville Junior-Senior High School, which ranked 365th of 415 and had a 77.7% graduation rate, 29.5% chronic absenteeism, and 2.78% SAT Math proficiency.

Subgroup results are uneven. Special education students ranked in the 49th percentile (2 stars) and low-income students in the 34th percentile (2 stars), both at or above the school’s overall standing, while male students ranked 29th percentile and female students 19th percentile in 2025–2026. One data point to treat cautiously is the reported student-teacher ratio of 47.6 in 2024–2025; nearby schools range from 12.4 to 17.3, and the school’s prior-year figure was 18.9, so this may be a reporting anomaly worth verifying. Overall, the school has made meaningful progress in graduation and attendance, but its next challenge is raising math, reading, and biology proficiency.
