Summary

Scottsburg Senior High School is a public high school in Scottsburg, Indiana, serving about 678 students in grades 9–12 as part of Scott County School District 2, which ranks 123rd of 374 Indiana districts. Statewide, the school ranks 141st of 415 high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 66th percentile with 3 stars — the third-highest rank among nearby high schools, behind William W Borden High School and Silver Creek High School.

Academically, Scottsburg has clear strengths and a positive long-term trend. It has climbed from the 32nd percentile (2 stars) in 2015–16 to the upper third of Indiana high schools. SAT Math is a standout: 27.85% proficient in 2025–26, above Indiana's 25.6% and the highest among the nearby schools listed. Biology is a turnaround story, rising from 10.24% in 2022–23 to 47.79% in 2025–26, which is mid-pack among peers. The graduation rate has improved to 92.1% in 2024–25, above the state's 89.7%, though several neighbors such as Charlestown Senior High School and Southwestern High School post 95–100%.

The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism: 35.7% in 2024–25, more than double Indiana's 16.7% and the highest among nearby schools. SAT Reading/Writing is the academic soft spot at 48.73%, below the state's 51.9% and behind William W Borden High School, New Washington Middle/High School, Silver Creek High School, Salem High School, and Henryville Junior & Senior High School. Effectiveness also varies across student groups, with male, Hispanic, and low-income students above the school average while female, White, and special education students trail. Notably, Scottsburg achieves this with a higher poverty rate (48.82% free/reduced lunch) and lower per-student spending ($10,799) than most peers.

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
