Summary:
ZIP code 46140 (Greenfield, Indiana) contains exactly one public high school — Greenfield-Central High School, serving grades 9–12 with 1,413 students as part of Greenfield-Central Com Schools — so families here have no in-boundary alternative and must judge the school against district and state benchmarks.
That comparison is mostly favorable. Roughly 9 in 10 students graduate in four years (91.4%, above Indiana's 89.7%), and SAT Evidence-based Reading & Writing proficiency (53.01%) is above the state's 51.9% — though it fell sharply from 60.17% the prior year, which appears to reflect a different junior class rather than a change in instruction. Math is the weaker spot: SAT Math proficiency was 23.21%, below the state's 25.6% and essentially flat against 23.16% a year earlier, meaning about three-quarters of juniors were not proficient. Biology EOC improved from 45.3% to 50.17%, but still trails the district's 57.27% by more than 7 points.
The school ranks 129th of 415 Indiana high schools (69th percentile, 3 stars), up from the 64th percentile in 2023-24 before leveling off. Chronic absenteeism is 16.5% — about the state average of 16.7% but 3.9 points above the district's 12.6%, suggesting engagement in grades 9–12 is worth watching. Context is middle-of-the-road: 37.23% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $10,662, and the student-teacher ratio is 15:1. In short, this is a slightly-above-average school that graduates students and teaches reading above the state level, with math as its clearest opportunity.
