Summary

Sullivan High School is a public high school located in Sullivan, Indiana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 503 students. The school is part of the Southwest School Corporation district, which is ranked 179 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sullivan High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 105th out of 429 high schools in 2024-2025 (4-star rating) to 262nd out of 409 in 2021-2022 (2-star rating), suggesting inconsistent performance compared to other high schools in Indiana. The school has shown strengths in serving its special education students, ranking 73rd out of 298 high schools in 2024-2025, but has struggled with the performance of its white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who have generally performed below the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been higher than the state average, which could impact student learning and achievement.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as North Knox Junior-Senior High School, Linton-Stockton High School, Shakamak Junior-Senior High School, and North Central Junior/Senior High School, generally perform at a lower level compared to Sullivan High School based on their statewide rankings and academic performance. This suggests that Sullivan High School may have the potential to be a stronger performer in the region, but it will need to address its own areas of weakness, such as academic performance in core subject areas and chronic absenteeism, to capitalize on this opportunity.
