Summary:

ZIP code 46534 in Knox, Indiana is served by three public schools — Knox Community Elementary School (PK–4), Knox Community Middle School (5–8), and Knox Community High School (9–12) — all in the Knox Community School Corp district, which enrolls 1,673 students and ranks 245th of 374 Indiana districts (34th percentile, 2 stars).

The elementary school is the largest (699 students) and ranks highest in the ZIP at the 48th percentile (2 stars). Its math (52.1% proficient) and science (44.25%) results exceed the district's, and 4th grade math and science sit at or slightly above state levels, while ELA (33.61%) is a relative weakness. It spends the least per student ($10,080) and has the highest student/teacher ratio (18.4). The middle school (474 students, 37th percentile, 2 stars) reports striking Biology EOC proficiency — 80% in 2025–26 and 83.33% in 2024–25, far above the district — but its middle-grade scores are low: ELA 30.82%, math 31.63%, and science 24.03%, with 7th grade ELA at 20.97% and 7th grade math at 21.77%. The high school (500 students) ranks lowest here at the 28th percentile with 1 star, yet graduates 96.8% of students against the state's 89.7%; SAT Math proficiency is 14.05% versus the state's 25.6%.

Chronic absenteeism is a shared strength: 3.0% at the elementary school, 6.3% at the middle school, and 8.5% at the high school, all below the state's 16.7%. Spending does not map neatly onto results — the middle school spends the most ($14,125) yet has the lowest science proficiency, while the elementary spends the least and gets the strongest math and science outcomes. The high school's rank has slipped from the 38th percentile in 2023–24 to 28th in 2025–26. The middle school's free/reduced lunch figure is not reported and should be treated as unknown.
