Summary:
ZIP code 47850 is home to a single listed high school, North Central Junior/Senior High School in Farmersburg, Indiana, which serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 369 students as part of Northeast School Corp. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, there are no local peer schools to compare it against — the most useful comparisons are to its own past years, its district and the state.
The school's relative strengths are in graduation and attendance. In 2024–2025 its graduation rate was 95.1%, matching the district's 95.1% and running 5.4 percentage points above Indiana's 89.7%. Chronic absenteeism was 15.8%, slightly better than the state's 16.7% but higher than the district's 12.9%, so attendance is a mixed picture. About 50.41% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the student–teacher ratio is 12.7, and per-student spending was $13,560 in 2023–2024.
Academics are the clearest challenge. The school holds a 1-star rating in 2023–2024, 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and its latest rank is 326 out of 415 — the 21st percentile — while the district is rated 2 stars at the 36th percentile. Test proficiency trails the state in nearly every area: SAT Math at 2.08% versus 25.6%, 8th grade math at 10.77% versus 34.2%, SAT EBRW at 35.42% versus 51.9%, and 8th grade ELA at 23.08% versus 44%. Math is notably weaker than ELA, with all-grade ILEARN math at 19.23% against the district's 33.33%. There is positive momentum, though: most subjects improved year over year, led by Biology (+10.64 points), all-grade Math (+5.28) and all-grade ELA (+2.89), with SAT Math the exception, falling from 5% to 2.08%.
