Summary:
Zip code 47403 in Bloomington, Indiana is home to two small public high schools — Excel Center - Bloomington, which serves grades 9–12, and Bloomington Graduation School, which serves grades 7–12. Together they enroll just 216 students (117 and 99 respectively), so year-to-year percentages can swing widely with only a few students changing results.
Excel Center - Bloomington, which operates as its own district, faces the most severe challenges in this group. Its chronic absenteeism rate is 97.8%, compared with 16.7% statewide and 63.8% at Bloomington Graduation School. Its graduation rate is 36.8%, far below the state's 89.7% and roughly 36 points below Bloomington Graduation's 72.4%. Its SAT math proficiency was 0% in 2024–25 versus 25.4% statewide, and its school ranking fell sharply from 4 stars and the 76th percentile in 2023–24 to 1 star and the 14th percentile in 2024–25. Its 2025–26 school-level SAT results are not reported, so its most recent academic trend is unknown rather than zero. It spends $4,209 per student with a 23.4 student-teacher ratio.
Bloomington Graduation School, part of the higher-performing Monroe County Community School Corp district (108th of 374, 71st percentile, 4 stars), spends far more — $16,695 per student — and has a much smaller 7.7 student-teacher ratio, yet it ranks 382nd of 415 with 0 stars and 8th percentile, and posted 0% SAT math in 2025–26. Both schools fall well below state benchmarks, but their profiles differ: Excel Center shows the most extreme absenteeism and lowest completion rates, while Bloomington Graduation shows low achievement despite much greater resources and a strong parent district.
