Summary

Seymour Senior High School is a public high school in Seymour, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with 1,729 students as the only high school in Seymour Community Schools, which means the school's data and the district's data are effectively the same. It is currently ranked 301 of 415 Indiana high schools — the 27th percentile, with 1 star — its weakest showing since 2016–17 and a step down from 2 stars the year before. Over ten reporting years, the school has never reached the state median, and its best year of the decade (2021–22, 49th percentile) still fell just short of the middle.

Compared with nearby schools, the picture is mixed rather than uniformly weak. Jennings County High School, the closest demographic match, outperforms Seymour in reading, biology and graduation (95.5% vs 88.0%), while Seymour is ahead in math and has lower absenteeism. Brownstown Central High School, about nine miles away, posts much stronger results but serves roughly 40% less poverty. Columbus East High School, with a similar enrollment, spends about 30% more per pupil and staffs smaller classes. Seymour has the lowest per-pupil spending in the comparison group at $10,303 and the highest student-teacher ratio (17.3) among credible peers.

The clearest bright spot is graduation: the rate rose 15.5 points in four years, from 72.5% to 88.0%, now roughly at state par. The sharpest red flag is chronic absenteeism — 22.9% in 2024–25 versus 15.8% for the district and 16.7% statewide, running 6 to 9 points above its own district every year. Test proficiency trails the state in every subject: SAT reading fell 8.1 points to 34.76% against a 51.9% state figure, math stood at 14.86% versus 25.6%, and biology at 31.45%. Low-income, special education and English-learner students sit in the bottom quartile, with special education declining the most.
