Summary:
ZIP code 47396 in Yorktown, Indiana is served by a single high school, Yorktown High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 839 students as part of Yorktown Community Schools. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, all of the area's high-school data reflects this one school. Its strongest results are in completion and engagement: the graduation rate is 97.9%, well above Indiana's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is 7.8%, less than half the state rate of 16.7%. Those figures suggest students are finishing school and showing up consistently.
On college-readiness testing, Yorktown students outperform the state in both reported years. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency was 70.74% in 2024–2025 and 63.54% in 2025–2026, compared with state rates of 54.5% and 51.9%. SAT Math proficiency was 40.96% and then 37.5%, against state rates of 25.4% and 25.6%. Math remains the lower of the two subjects, even though it is comfortably above the state. Rankings tell a similar story: the school placed 44th of 432 in 2023–2024 and 36th of 429 in 2024–2025, both at 5 stars, then 63rd of 415 at 4 stars in 2025–2026 — still in the top 15% of ranked Indiana high schools. The district ranks 59th of 374, in the 84th percentile with 4 stars.
Two areas are worth watching. First, SAT and Biology scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and rank slipped along with them, so the trend is downward even though results remain strong. Second, Biology ILEARN scores sit below the district level in both years: 57.28% versus the district's 62.2% in 2024–2025 (above the state's 45.6%), and 47.31% versus 53.95% in 2025–2026, a year for which no state value is provided. For context, about 33.73% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $11,273, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.2:1 — roughly 49 teachers for 839 students. No state or peer comparisons are provided for spending and ratio, so those figures are best read as background rather than as strengths or weaknesses.
