Summary:

ZIP code 46360 is served by a single public high school, Michigan City High School, which enrolls 1,506 students in grades 9–12 and belongs to Michigan City Area Schools. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, there are no local comparisons to make; the meaningful comparison is against district and state benchmarks.

Michigan City High School ranks 344 of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 17th percentile with 1 star, and it ranks 277 of 374 within its district, or the 26th percentile, also 1 star. Its relative position has slipped over three years, from the 24th percentile in 2023–2024 to 19th in 2024–2025 and 17th in 2025–2026. Test results trail state averages noticeably: in 2025–2026, 9.38% of students were proficient in SAT math versus 25.6% statewide, and 28.74% were proficient in SAT reading and writing versus 51.9% statewide. Biology proficiency was 22.45%, slightly below the district's 24.87%.
