Test scores sit far above Ohio averages. Grade 8 math was 87.2% proficient versus 52.0% statewide, grade 6 math 91.8% versus 56.2%, and grade 7 math 72.3% versus 48.6%. ELA results were 84.4%, 93.6% and 88.7% across grades 6–8 versus 56.0%, 62.7% and 58.3%, and grade 8 science was 89.9% versus 61.2%. Algebra I reached 99.0% and Geometry 98.5%, both far above the state. Math jumped sharply this year—grade 8 from 60.3% to 87.2%. Even so, Madeira Middle School, less than a mile away, outscores Indian Hill in grade 6, 7 and 8 math, grade 6 and 8 ELA and grade 8 science, and Mariemont Junior High School, ranked 4th statewide, leads in grade 7 and 8 math, science and grade 7 ELA. Grade 7 math, flat near 74% for four years, is the clearest soft spot.
Chronic absenteeism improved to 8.4% in 2025–2026, down from 10.0% and 9.7% in the two prior years and below the district's 8.7%—though Madeira Middle School (5.2%) and Edwin H. Greene Intermediate Middle School (6.4%) are lower. Resources are strong: a student–teacher ratio of 12.4, second only to Mariemont Junior High School's 11.8 nearby, and per-pupil spending of $16,384 (2018–2019), the highest in the comparison group. Subgroup performance is a genuine strength, ranking in the 93rd to 98th percentile for male, female, special education and low-socioeconomic-status students, with low-SES effectiveness rebounding from the 72nd percentile to the 95th. Free/reduced-lunch data for Indian Hill is not available, so direct poverty comparisons with nearby schools cannot be made.
