Summary:

ZIP code 47446 has one public high school, Mitchell High School, serving grades 9–12 in Mitchell, Indiana, as part of Mitchell Community Schools. With 424 students, the school has a mixed profile: graduation and attendance are near or better than state averages, Biology proficiency improved, but SAT Mathematics is very weak and the school’s overall rank remains below the state midpoint. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch rate is 61.56%, student-teacher ratio is 13:1, and 2023–2024 per-student spending is $31,163.

Mitchell High School has earned 2 stars in each of the last three rank-history years. It ranked 269 of 415 (35th percentile) in 2025–2026, up from 299 of 429 (30th percentile) in 2024–2025, but still below its 2023–2024 mark of 235 of 432 (46th percentile). The district itself is ranked 275 of 374, in the 26th percentile with 1 star. The 2024–2025 graduation rate is 89.1%, just 0.6 percentage points below the state’s 89.7% and equal to the district’s 89.1%. Chronic absenteeism is 13.0%, lower than the state’s 16.7% but higher than the district’s 10.6%.

Test scores show the clearest concern: SAT Mathematics proficiency is 9.57% in 2025–2026 versus 25.6% statewide, and was 11.36% in 2024–2025 versus 25.4% statewide. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 43.62% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 51.9%, and was 45.45% in 2024–2025, below the state’s 54.5%. Biology ILEARN End-of-Course proficiency rose from 30.77% in 2024–2025 to 44.58% in 2025–2026, a 13.81 percentage-point gain. For parents, the main takeaway is that completion and attendance look relatively stable and Biology is improving, while math proficiency—under 10% in 2025–2026 and far below the school’s reading/writing results—is the most important area to examine.
