Summary

South Knox Middle-High School is a public school in Vincennes, Indiana, serving 562 students in grades 7–12 as part of South Knox School Corp, a mid-sized school in southwestern Indiana. In 2025–2026 it ranks 238th of 415 Indiana schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars), down from 121st of 429 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025. Even so, it is the highest-ranked school among nearby peers this year, just ahead of Washington High School, Lincoln High School, Pike Central High School, and North Knox Junior-Senior High School, and its district outranks nearby districts such as Washington Community Schools and North Knox School Corp.

Graduation and attendance are standout strengths. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.9%, well above Indiana's 89.7% and second locally only to Lincoln High School. Chronic absenteeism was 17.4%, above the district's 11.6% and slightly above the state's 16.7%, but lower than every nearby school, including North Knox (23.8%), Pike Central (25.4%), and Washington High (35.1%). Reading and science are also solid: SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing was 53.66%, above the state's 51.9% and higher than all nearby schools, while Biology End of Course was 40.43%, also ahead of local peers.

Math is the clearest concern. SAT Math fell to 9.76% in 2025–2026 — far below the state's 25.6% and lower than most nearby traditional high schools — after reaching 26.37%, above the state, the year before. ILEARN Math was 24.02%, well below the district's 41.56%, in both 7th and 8th grades. Reported subgroup results also slipped below the 50th percentile for female, male, and low-income students. South Knox has a lower share of students eligible for free or reduced lunch than every nearby school, mid-range per-student spending ($11,770), and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5, so the math weakness is unlikely to be explained by demographics alone.
