Summary:

ZIP code 46117 in Charlottesville, Indiana, is served by three schools, all in the Eastern Hancock County Com School Corp: one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12), together enrolling about 1,219 students. The district ranks 128 of 374 in Indiana, placing it at the 66th percentile with 3 stars.

Eastern Hancock Elementary School is the academic standout, enrolling 549 students and earning 4 stars in each of the last three years (219 of 1,015 in 2025-2026). Its all-grade proficiency beats the district in ELA (52.12%), math (57.14%), and science (56.98%), and 5th grade social studies reached 72.34% against the state's 47.2%. Notably, it has the highest free/reduced lunch rate of the three schools at 39.34%, yet still posts the strongest results, and its chronic absenteeism (11.2%) is below the state's 16.7%.

Eastern Hancock Middle School has the best attendance in the ZIP at 9.2% chronic absenteeism and above-state math in grades 7 and 8, but all-grade ELA is just 31.45% versus the district's 41.33%, with 6th grade ELA at 25% against the state's 41.3%. Eastern Hancock High School graduates 96.7% of students (state: 89.7%) with low absenteeism at 9.7%, but its rank slid from the 76th to the 44th percentile in one year, and SAT math fell to 14.08% versus the state's 25.6%. In short, attendance is strong district-wide, elementary is the anchor, middle school needs ELA support, and high school must reverse a recent academic slide.
