Summary:
ZIP code 47331 is served by a single high school, Connersville Senior High School, which educates about 912 students in grades 9–12 and is part of the Fayette County School Corporation. Because there is only one high school in the area, parents should judge it against Indiana state averages and its own recent history rather than against nearby schools.
The school's clearest strength is completion: its 92.8% graduation rate is above Indiana's 89.7%. Its clearest challenge is academic proficiency. In 2025–2026, only 16.67% of 11th graders met the SAT math benchmark (state: 25.6%) and 45% met the reading and writing benchmark (state: 51.9%). Biology proficiency fell sharply in a single year, from 42.07% to 34.78%, while reading and math were roughly flat. That combination — a strong graduation pipeline paired with below-state proficiency in every assessed subject in both years — is the most important tension in the data for parents to weigh.
Attendance is a bigger outlier than test scores: chronic absenteeism is 23.6%, well above the state's 16.7%, and absenteeism often signals later academic trouble. About 59.43% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending per student is $13,673, and the student–teacher ratio is 16.1. The school's state ranking has slipped from the 63rd percentile (3 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 36th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, a relative decline that partly reflects other schools improving faster. Notably, the district as a whole ranks at the 49th percentile, higher than the high school's own standing, meaning the high school is currently the lagging segment of the district.
