Scottsburg Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 118th to 244th out of Indiana high schools. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied between 2 and 4 stars during this period, currently standing at 3 stars.

Scottsburg Senior High School has maintained a relatively stable four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.6% to 88.4% over the past few years, but its chronic absenteeism rate has been a concern, ranging from 17.8% to 28.0% in recent years.

Incredible high school! This district offers two choices for the students...Scottsburg New Tech High School and the more traditional Scottsburg High School. But don't let the traditional label fool you. Both programs use technology for student learning. The staff, as a whole, is great. There are some staff members who have an attitude that they are better than others, but the majority really care about the students. There are some departments that could use some improvement but overall, you can't go wrong with Scottsburg! Close Quote
