Summary:

ZIP code 46124 covers Edinburgh, Indiana, and contains three public schools — East Side Elementary School (PK–5), Edinburgh Community Middle School (6–8), and Edinburgh Community High School (9–12) — all part of Edinburgh Community School Corp. Together they enroll 793 students, with the elementary school the largest at 382 students (48.2% of the total). The district is ranked 252 of 374 in Indiana, placing it in the 33rd percentile with a 2-star rating, and there is no alternative school in the ZIP.

Among the three, Edinburgh Community High School has the strongest overall profile: 47th percentile in 2025–2026, up from 43rd in 2023–2024, 2 stars in each of the last three years, and a 96.3% graduation rate versus the state's 89.7%. Edinburgh Community Middle School ranks 35th percentile and posts the best attendance (17.4% chronic absenteeism) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.7). East Side Elementary School ranks lowest at 27th percentile, has been rated 1 star for three years, and carries the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (61.52%), the highest chronic absenteeism (29.8%), and the lowest per-pupil spending ($9,618).

Attendance is a district-wide concern: the district rate is 25.2% versus the state's 16.7%, with the elementary school most acute and the middle school closest to state. Reading and writing (ELA) is the clearest academic weakness — 4th- and 5th-grade ELA and 7th-grade ELA fall well below state, and high school SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing dropped from 55.74% to 47.06%, below the state's 51.9%. Math shows brighter spots: elementary all-grade math is above district, 8th-grade math (37.25%) is above the state's 34.2%, and SAT Math improved 8.44 points to 26.47%, slightly above the state's 25.6%. All three schools rank below the 50th percentile statewide.
