Summary:
ZIP code 47229 in Crothersville, Indiana, contains exactly one high school: Crothersville Junior-Senior High School, a grades 6–12 junior-senior high school with 221 students, part of Crothersville Community Schools. Because it is the only school in the area, there are no within-ZIP comparisons to make; the meaningful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own prior years.
On accountability, the school's latest results are its weakest of the three years shown: 365 of 415 schools, the 12th percentile, 1 star in 2025–2026, after 247 of 429, the 42nd percentile, 2 stars in 2024–2025, and 352 of 432, the 19th percentile, 1 star in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026 all-grades ILEARN, the school trailed its district in English Language Arts (18.09% vs. 23.89%) and Math (14.89% vs. 21.67%), while Science was essentially even (13.33% vs. 13.46%). Grade-level state comparisons were all below average, with especially large gaps in 6th-grade ELA (10% vs. 41.3%), 6th-grade Math (6.67% vs. 40.2%), 8th-grade Math (7.14% vs. 34.2%), SAT Math (2.78% vs. 25.6%), and SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (30.56% vs. 51.9%). The clearest bright spot is 2024–2025 SAT EBRW at 60%, above the state's 54.5%, along with 2024–2025 all-grades ILEARN ELA and Science results that exceeded the district.
Attendance and completion are significant concerns. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 29.5%, above both the district (22.1%) and the state (16.7%), and the graduation rate was 77.7%, below Indiana's 89.7%. Several subjects also declined year over year, including all-grades ILEARN ELA (28.57% to 18.09%), Science (32.43% to 13.33%), and SAT EBRW (60% to 30.56%). For context, 52.49% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending is $10,596 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.2. These figures describe a school facing both academic and attendance-related challenges.
