Summary:
ZIP code 47715 is home to two high schools serving grades 9–12 — William Henry Harrison High School and Excel Center of Evansville Southeast — which together enroll 1,490 students. Harrison, part of Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, is by far the larger school with 1,332 students (nearly nine in ten of the area's high schoolers), while Excel Center enrolls 158 students and operates as its own district, Excel Center of Evansville Southeast.
William Henry Harrison High School's brightest metric is its 91.3% graduation rate, which edges past its district's 88.3% and the state's 89.7%. However, it holds a 2-star rating and sits in the 31st percentile of ranked Indiana high schools, and its test scores run below district and state levels: 36.54% proficiency in SAT reading/writing and only 15.58% in SAT math in 2025–2026, making math the clearest weak spot. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern at 35.4%, well above the district's 21.5% and the state's 16.7%. One encouraging sign is Biology, where proficiency rose from 32.44% to 36.09% year over year while the district's rate declined.
Excel Center of Evansville Southeast reports a 16.6% graduation rate — far below Harrison's and the state's 89.7% — and its student-teacher ratio of 26.3 is much higher than Harrison's 15.7. Its free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported, which should be read as unknown rather than zero, and it has no reported test scores, chronic absenteeism, spending, or rank data. Because the two schools differ so much in size and available data, and Excel Center may follow a nontraditional model, families should compare them with caution and gather more information directly from each school.
