Summary:
ZIP code 47394 contains exactly one high school — Winchester Community High School — serving grades 9–12 with 399 students as part of Randolph Central School Corp in Winchester, Indiana. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no local peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Indiana. The available data span three years of rankings (2023–2024 through 2025–2026), plus graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, test scores, free/reduced lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio.
The school's clearest strength is getting students to graduation: 95.5% of students graduated in 2024–2025, which is 5.8 points above the Indiana rate of 89.7% and equal to the district rate. The student-teacher ratio of 12.1 suggests relatively small classes, and SAT math proficiency more than doubled from 8.91% in 2024–2025 to 19.1% in 2025–2026. The biggest concern is attendance: 21.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, higher than both the district (16.0%) and the state (16.7%) — roughly 1 in 5 students. Test scores also trail the state: SAT reading and writing was 44.94% against the state's 51.9%, SAT math was 19.1% against 25.6%, and Biology ILEARN slipped to 30.4% in 2025–2026 from 32.35% the year before.
On rankings, the school improved to 264th of 415 high schools, the 36th percentile with 2 stars, in 2025–2026, up from 303rd of 429, the 29th percentile with 1 star. The district as a whole ranks 189th of 374, the 49th percentile with 3 stars, though those ranking universes differ. About 42.86% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $14,003. Overall, this is a school with a strong graduation record and encouraging math momentum, but attendance and proficiency below state averages remain the areas to watch.
