Summary

Churubusco Junior-Senior High School is a public school in rural Churubusco, Indiana, serving about 603 students in grades 6–12 as part of Smith-Green Community Schools. It is currently rated 4 stars and ranked 78th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 — the 81st percentile — after climbing steadily from the 35th percentile and a 2-star rating in 2021–2022. Its graduation rate is 97.7%, well above Indiana's 89.7%, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1% is better than the state's 16.7%, though higher than the district's 7.7%. About 27.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $11,798, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.5.

Among ten nearby high schools, Churubusco ranks third, behind only Homestead High School and Carroll High School, and it outperforms closer schools including Columbia City High School, East Noble High School, Central Noble Junior Senior High School, and Garrett High School. Its SAT reading score of 55.06 beats the state average of 51.9 and every nearby school except Homestead and Carroll, and its SAT math score of 26.97 is above the state's 25.6, though East Noble is slightly higher at 28.28. Biology EOC results are especially strong at 59.78, second only to Homestead, and Churubusco's graduation rate tops both Homestead's and Carroll's. Against similarly sized Central Noble, Churubusco posts much higher test scores but higher absenteeism.

The main weak spot is middle school. ILEARN results in 2025–2026 trail both the district and state: all-grade math was 25.38% versus the district's 43.63%, ELA was 37.69% versus 44.21%, and science was 33.67% versus 40.34%, with grade-level math below state in grades 6, 7, and 8. On the positive side, subgroup performance has improved sharply — special education students rose from the 22nd percentile (1 star) in 2023–2024 to the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026, and low-income students reached the 84th percentile (4 stars), suggesting broad-based gains.
