Summary:
ZIP code 47111 covers Charlestown, Indiana, and contains two public schools serving grades 6–12 — Charlestown Middle School (grades 6–8, 647 students) and Charlestown Senior High School (grades 9–12, 860 students) — both part of Greater Clark County Schools, with no elementary or alternative schools listed for this ZIP, so there is no information here about K–5 performance or the pipeline into these schools.
Charlestown Middle School is the clear standout in this area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 89 of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 82nd percentile, 4 stars — up from 66th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024, an improvement of 80 rank positions and 16 percentile points. Its all-grade proficiency beats the district in all three ILEARN subjects: ELA 55.24% vs. 37.53%, Math 42.5% vs. 38.86%, and Science 53.37% vs. 34.36%. Science all-grade proficiency also jumped from 36.99% to 53.37% in one year. Its relative weak spot is 7th-grade math at 34.55%, slightly under the state's 35.9% though still above the district's 29.5%.
Charlestown Senior High School ranked 153 of 415 high schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 51st percentile the prior year. Its graduation rate of 97.7% tops both the district (95.8%) and state (89.7%), and Biology EOC proficiency rose from 49.23% to 62.43%. SAT Math, however, is a serious weakness: 17.01% in 2025–2026 versus the district's 14.9% and the state's 25.6%. Chronic absenteeism is a shared concern — 22.3% at the middle school and 26.0% at the high school, better than the district's 27.3% but well above the state's 16.7%. Notably, both schools outperform their district's overall rating of 201/374, 46th percentile, 2 stars, and their resources are nearly identical: about $11,100 spent per student and a 16.5:1 student-teacher ratio at each.
