Summary:
ZIP code 47246 contains one high school: Hauser Junior-Senior High School, a combined junior-senior school in Hope, Indiana serving grades 7–12 with 435 students. It is the only school in the Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp, a district ranked 165th of 374 in Indiana — the 56th percentile, with 3 stars. About 44% of students were economically disadvantaged by the free/reduced lunch measure, per-student spending was $13,406, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.2 suggests relatively small classes.
The school's clearest strength is completion: a 100% graduation rate in 2024–25, matching the district and beating the state's 89.7% by 10.3 points. Reading and writing also perform well — SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing came in at 55.22 in 2024–25 (state 54.5) and 53.62 in 2025–26 (state 51.9), above the state both years. Rankings have improved since 2023–24, when the school was 256th of 432 (41st percentile, 2 stars). It rose to 151st of 429 (65th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25 and held 3 stars in 2025–26 at 179th of 415 (57th percentile).
The main challenges are attendance and math. Chronic absenteeism was 24.1% in 2024–25, versus 19.5% in the district and 16.7% statewide — roughly 1 in 4 students. Math lags across measures: in 2025–26, 7th-grade math was 24.69 against a state mark of 35.9, and 8th-grade math was 29.87 against 34.2. SAT Math was essentially tied with the state in 2024–25 (25.37 vs. 25.4) but fell below it in 2025–26 (21.74 vs. 25.6), while Biology EOC dropped from 43.66 to 37.31. Overall, this is a 3-star school — near or slightly above the state median — with strong graduation and reading results, and clear room to improve math and attendance.
