Summary:
ZIP code 47512 is home to a single high school: North Knox Junior-Senior High School in Bicknell, Indiana, which serves grades 7–12 with 541 students and belongs to North Knox School Corp. Because it is the only school in this area, there are no local schools to compare against — the meaningful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Indiana.
The school's clearest strength is graduation: 97.3% of students graduated in 2024–2025, matching the district's rate and running 7.6 percentage points above Indiana's 89.7%. The biggest concern is attendance — chronic absenteeism is 23.8%, which is 4.2 points above the district's 19.6% and 7.1 points above the state's 16.7%. The district ranks 254 of 374 in Indiana, placing it in the 32nd percentile with a 2-star rating, and the school's own percentile has slipped from 41st in 2023–2024 to 37th in 2024–2025 and 32nd in 2025–2026.
Academically, math is the weakest area. In 2025–2026, SAT Math proficiency was 14.71% compared with 25.6% statewide, and ILEARN Math for all grades was 19.58% at the school versus 28.99% in the district. ELA for all grades was 32.11%, below the district's 36.45%. Year over year, Biology End of Course rose 5.84 percentage points to 36.92%, ELA all grades edged up 0.89 points, and SAT Math gained 0.59 points — but Math all grades fell 6.40 points and SAT ERW dropped 9.70 points to 39.71%, against the state's 51.9%. About 56.93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending is $11,572 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.4.
