Summary

Northwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mooresville, Indiana, serving grades K-7 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Mooresville Consolidated School Corporation district, which is ranked 112 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northwood Elementary consistently outperforms the Mooresville Consolidated School Corporation and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Northwood Elementary had 55.6% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to 49.36% for the district and 51.5% for the state in 3rd grade. The school also had higher proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies compared to the district and state averages. However, Northwood Elementary has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district average, ranging from 15.7% to 19.2% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.

While Northwood Elementary outperforms its district peers, such as North Madison Elementary School and Neil Armstrong Elementary School, the higher-performing schools in the Plainfield Community School Corporation, such as Brentwood Elementary School, Van Buren Elementary School, and Guilford Elementary, provide a benchmark for potential areas of improvement for Northwood Elementary.
