Summary

Lapel Senior High School is a public high school in Lapel, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with 462 students as part of Frankton-Lapel Community Schools, and it offers a small-school setting with a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 and a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 31.17% in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, Lapel ranked 103rd of 415 Indiana high schools (75th percentile, 4 stars), above its district’s 61st percentile. SAT performance is a clear strength: 62.79% met ERW and 35.66% met Math in 2025–2026, above both district and state averages. Graduation rates are consistently above the state, including 94.9% in 2024–2025 versus 89.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism has improved sharply, falling to 11.9% in 2024–2025—better than the state’s 16.7% and close to the district’s 12.7%. The main academic weak spot is Biology: proficiency was 29.41% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 35.42%, and 39.64% in 2024–2025, below the state’s 45.6%.

Compared with its same-district peer Frankton Junior-Senior High School, Lapel has higher SAT ERW (62.79% vs. 51.61%), much higher SAT Math (35.66% vs. 13.71%), lower chronic absenteeism (11.9% vs. 20.3%), lower poverty (31.17% vs. 49.14%), a lower student-teacher ratio (13.7 vs. 17.5), and higher per-student spending ($10,913 vs. $9,643); Frankton’s Biology result was higher (41.32% vs. 29.41%). Lapel still trails top suburban neighbors such as Fishers High School, Hamilton Southeastern High School, Noblesville High School, and Pendleton Heights High School overall, especially in science. Subgroup results show gaps: special education students ranked in the 28th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026, low-SES students around the 59th percentile, and male students at the 68th percentile, so targeted support could help. One data caution: the 2023–2024 free/reduced lunch figure of 0.64% likely reflects a reporting or eligibility change rather than a real one-year drop, and some alternative schools’ test scores are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown.
