Summary:
Zip code 46567 covers Syracuse, Indiana, and contains exactly one high school: Wawasee High School, a public comprehensive school serving grades 9–12 with 836 students. It is the only high school in the Wawasee Community School Corp, which is ranked 169 of 374 Indiana districts (55th percentile, 3 stars). Because there is just one school here, there is no local peer comparison — the useful benchmarks are the school's own history, its district, and the state.
The clearest strength is Biology. In 2024-2025, 59.24% of students were proficient on the ILEARN end-of-course exam, compared with 45.6% statewide — a 13.6-point advantage. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is close to the state average (49.25% in 2025-2026 versus 51.9%; 52.75% versus 54.5% the year before). Resources look solid: $13,840 per student (2023-2024), a 13.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 41.75% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
The main concern is mathematics. SAT Math proficiency fell from 25.27% to 14.93% — essentially state parity (25.4%) in 2024-2025, then 10.67 points below the state (25.6%) a year later. Reading and Biology dipped only modestly, so the weakness appears subject-specific rather than school-wide. Chronic absenteeism is 27.9%, notably above both the district (16.3%) and state (16.7%), and roughly 1.7 times the state rate — since the district average includes this school, the gap suggests absenteeism is concentrated at the high school level. The graduation rate is 86.0% versus 89.7% statewide. Over two years, the school's state ranking slipped from the 78th percentile (4 stars) to the 58th percentile (3 stars), tracking the math and absenteeism signals. Note that year-over-year test figures compare different cohorts of students, so a third year of data would help show whether these are trends or one-cohort swings.
