AdvancED has merged with North Central Accreditation and now reviews all of the schools in a district.

Greencastle Community Schools employ a full time instructor to teach English as a second language to Japanese students who are members of the school community.

Starting with the 2005/2006 school year, the State of Indiana changed the definition of “high school graduate” resulting in lower graduation rates.

Other schools in the county have similar statistics.
