Summary

Tipton High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Tipton, Indiana, a small city about 50 miles north of Indianapolis, with 437 students in the Tipton Community School Corp. The district ranks 80th of 374 Indiana districts (79th percentile, 4 stars), and the school ranks 88th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 — the 79th percentile with 4 stars, placing it in the top roughly one-fifth of the state. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 36.84%, student-teacher ratio is 12.4, and per-student spending was $13,629 in 2023–2024.

The biggest story here is sustained improvement. In 2020–2021 the school ranked 285th of 388 (27th percentile, 1 star); by 2023–2024 it reached the 71st percentile and has held the 79th percentile with 4 stars in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Graduation rose from 89.5% in 2020–2021 to 100% in 2024–2025 — the highest among nearby schools — and chronic absenteeism fell from 37.9% in 2021–2022 to 10.6% in 2024–2025, well below the state's 16.7% and lower than every nearby brick-and-mortar school, including Sheridan High School (23.2%), Hamilton Heights High School (14.6%), and Kokomo High School (42.8%). Math is Tipton's clearest academic signature: SAT Math proficiency was 30.53% in 2025–2026, above the state's 25.6% and higher than every nearby school in the comparison group.

There are areas to watch. SAT Reading/Writing was 51.91%, essentially the state average of 51.9% but below Sheridan High School (60.71%), Hamilton Heights High School (60.49%), and Eastern High School (59.02%), and it has slipped from 60.4% in 2023–2024. Biology proficiency, 54.44%, is mid-pack locally. On the positive side, students in special education and students from low-income families each ranked in the 85th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up sharply from the 42nd and 39th percentiles the prior year — though subgroup results can shift year to year. Kokomo Virtual Academy's figures reflect a different virtual-school model and aren't directly comparable.
