Summary

Taylor High School in Kokomo, IN, is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in the Taylor Community School Corp, with 343 students. In 2025–2026, it ranks 255th of 415 Indiana high schools, placing it in the 39th percentile with 2 stars; its district ranks 290th of 374 districts, at the 22nd percentile with 1 star. Its rank history shows a long-term decline from the 60th percentile in 2016–2017, then mostly between the 26th and 49th percentiles, with 49th in 2024–2025 and 39th in 2025–2026. It is below the state midpoint but not at the very bottom.

Compared with nearby schools, Taylor is lower-middle. It outperforms Kokomo High School (27th percentile), Kokomo Virtual Academy (35th), and Excel Center - Kokomo (18th in 2024–25), but trails Tri Central Middle-High School (48th) and is far below Tipton High School (79th), Eastern High School (77th), Northwestern Senior High School (87th), and Western High School (92nd). The gap to the top nearby schools is roughly 38–53 percentile points. Its 2025–26 SAT math proficiency is 8.11%, versus Indiana’s 25.6%, and every traditional nearby high school is higher. SAT reading is 43.24%, below the state’s 51.9%. Biology is a relative bright spot at 47.42%, above Kokomo High School (15.6) and Tri Central Middle-High School (41.67).

Attendance and completion are major concerns. Chronic absenteeism is 35.1%, more than double Indiana’s 16.7%, and graduation is 84.8%, below the state’s 89.7%. Absenteeism rose from 13.7% in 2022–23 to 34.2% in 2023–24 and 35.1% in 2024–25. Graduation improved from 78.4% in 2021–22 to 84.8% in 2024–25, narrowing the state gap from about 6.5 to 4.9 points. Biology rose from 19% in 2022–23 to 47.42% in 2025–26, while SAT math has been volatile and is now very low. Subgroup results show a strength: Special Education Students rank in the 82nd percentile (4 stars), and Low Socio Economic Status Students improved to the 47th percentile. Spending is $11,803 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.7—mid-pack, not obviously catastrophic. The clearest priorities are attendance, math instruction, and completion supports.
