Summary:
ZIP code 47601 is served by a single high school: Boonville High School, which enrolls 892 students in grades 9–12 and belongs to the Warrick County School Corp. Because it is the only high school in the area, there is no in-ZIP comparison to make — the meaningful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Indiana.
Boonville High School's clearest story is a steep upward climb. Its state rank improved from 245 of 432 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, to 130 of 429 (70th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, to 94 of 415 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a 151-position gain and two added stars. Its 92.4% graduation rate is above Indiana's 89.7%, though 2.5 points below the district's 94.9%. In test scores, Biology ILEARN proficiency rose from 53.88% to 60.09%, moving above the district's 58.5% in the latest year. SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing held steady at about 55%, slightly above the state but below the district. SAT Math is the weak spot at 23.18%, below the state's 25.6% and far below the district's 37.21%, despite improving from 21.35%.
For parents, the most important watch item is chronic absenteeism: at 25.8%, it is more than double the district's 11.2% and well above the state's 16.7%. Other context: 43.39% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, spending per student was $12,738 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.1:1 in 2024–2025. The district itself is exceptionally strong — ranked 26 of 374, in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars — so Boonville High is improving rapidly but still trails its high-performing district in several areas. Overall: strong momentum, above-state graduation and reading, standout Biology gains, with attendance and math as the priorities to monitor.
