Summary:
ZIP code 46069 covers Sheridan, Indiana, where three public schools — all part of Sheridan Community Schools — serve about 1,169 students in a single PK–12 pipeline. Sheridan Elementary School serves PK–5 with 555 students, Sheridan Middle School serves grades 6–8 with 270 students, and Sheridan High School serves grades 9–12 with 344 students. The district ranks 105th of 374 Indiana districts (72nd percentile, 4 stars), but that overall strength is not spread evenly across the three schools.
Sheridan High School is the clear standout, ranking 60th of 415 Indiana high schools (86th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, up sharply from 148th of 429 the year before. Its graduation rate is 95.2%, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency is 60.71% (above the state's 51.9%), and SAT Math is 26.19% (just above the state's 25.6%). Sheridan Elementary School stands out differently: chronic absenteeism is 10.4%, the lowest in the ZIP code and well below the district's 15.5% and the state's 16.7%. Academically it sits mid-pack at 54th percentile (3 stars), with 4th-grade math, 4th-grade science, and 5th-grade social studies above state averages, while 5th-grade ELA and math lag.
Sheridan Middle School also ranks at the 54th percentile (3 stars) and has the smallest classes (11.0 students per teacher), but math is the biggest concern here: all-grades math proficiency is 26.82%, falling from 36.78% in 6th grade to 23.46% in 7th and 20.43% in 8th, each below state averages. Chronic absenteeism climbs across the pipeline — 10.4% elementary, 15.9% middle, 23.2% high school — so the high school pairs strong outcomes with a real attendance challenge. Spending also differs notably: $9,719 per student at the middle school versus $16,370 at the high school.
