Summary:

ZIP code 47260 is a small rural community served by just two public schools, both in the Medora Community School Corp: Medora STEM Academy, an elementary school for grades PK–5 with 90 students, and Medora Junior & Senior High School, serving grades 6–12 with 95 students. Together they enroll 185 students, and there is no standalone middle school or alternative school in this ZIP.

Overall, the district ranks 340 of 374 in Indiana — the 9th percentile, with 0 stars, so both schools operate well below state averages on most measures. The high school has moved from 411 of 432 (5th percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024 to 332 of 429 (23rd percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025, then 351 of 415 (15th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. The elementary school went the other way, dropping from 42nd percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024 and 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to 9th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–2026. The clearest bright spot is the high school's 100% graduation rate in 2024–2025, above the district's 100% and the state's 89.7%.

Attendance and math are the biggest concerns. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 39.3% at the high school and 23.8% at the elementary school, compared with 16.7% statewide and 31.7% for the district. SAT Math was 0% in both reported years, against state rates of 25.4% and 25.6%. Elementary all-grade math proficiency fell from 50% in 2024–2025 to 20% in 2025–2026, and high school math was 12.5% in 2025–2026. Free or reduced-price lunch was 75.56% at the elementary school and 67.37% at the high school. The high school spent $14,327 per student in 2023–2024 with a 6.5 student-teacher ratio, versus $11,463 and 13.8 at the elementary school, yet did not post stronger outcomes. Because enrollment is very small and some 2025–2026 school-level results are not reported in this file, these numbers should be read with caution.
