Summary:
ZIP code 46064, covering the Pendleton, Indiana area, contains exactly one high school: Pendleton Heights High School, a grades 9–12 campus with 1,502 students in South Madison Com School Corp. Because this ZIP code has only one high school, there is no cross-school comparison to make; the more useful comparison is how this school performs over time and against its district and the state.
The school's profile is strong on several measures. It ranked 43rd of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 — the 90th percentile, or top 10%, with 4 stars — improving from 55th of 429 the prior year and 62nd of 432 the year before that. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 99.1% matched the district and was 9.4 percentage points above the state's 89.7%. SAT results also beat state averages in both reported years: Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 54.72% versus 51.9% and Mathematics at 29.97% versus 25.6% in 2025–2026. Biology proficiency rose sharply, from 56.76% to 84.34%, a 27.58 percentage point increase.
Two trends are worth watching. SAT scores declined year over year — ERW fell 9.01 percentage points and Math fell 4.27 percentage points — though both remained above state averages. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 12.8%, better than the state's 16.7% but higher than the district's 7.7%. Enrollment is 1,502 with a 22.9:1 student-teacher ratio, implying roughly 66 teachers, per-student spending of $9,479, and 28.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
