Summary

Northfield Junior-Senior High School is a 7–12 school in Wabash, Indiana, part of MSD Wabash County Schools, serving 429 students in a community where about 43.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. For 2025–2026 it ranked 125th of 415 Indiana high schools — the 70th percentile, earning 4 stars — which puts it in the top third of the state and slightly above its district's overall standing.

That is a big change over time. The school sat in the 19th percentile in 2015–2016 and has climbed steadily since, recovering from a dip in 2023–2024. Among nearby schools, Southwood Junior-Senior High School ranks higher (85th percentile), while Huntington North High School sits at 74, Manchester Junior-Senior High School at 65, and White's Junior-Senior High School at 5 — so district averages hide wide differences between schools. Northfield's 100% graduation rate in 2024–2025 is the highest among nearby schools and well above the district's 84.6% and the state's 89.7%, even though chronic absenteeism (18.4%) is slightly above the state's 16.7%.

Test results are mixed. SAT scores are a clear strength: 57.5% in Evidence-based Reading and Writing and 30% in Math, both above district and state figures, with the Math result the highest among nearby schools. ILEARN All Grades proficiency, however, was 28.93% in ELA and 31.4% in Math, below district averages, and Biology EOC proficiency fell to 35.9% from 58.46% the year before — a drop worth watching. Per-student spending ($10,756) is mid-range compared with neighbors, while the 13.1 student-teacher ratio is better than most. Low-income students have recently ranked near or above the school overall, suggesting the school serves that group relatively well.
