Summary:
Cedar Grove, Indiana lists one school — Mount Carmel School, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 213 students — so families in this area have a single listed public school, with no middle or high schools in this data set. Mount Carmel is part of Franklin County Community School Corp, a district ranked 161st of 374 in Indiana (57th percentile, 3 stars). The school itself ranks noticeably higher: 82nd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, and 4 stars in each of the past three years (85th percentile in 2023–24, 81st in 2024–25).
Test performance is strong. In 2025–26, all-grade ILEARN proficiency was 51.72% in English language arts, 64.66% in math, and 61.11% in science, compared with district rates of 37.58%, 35.96%, and 36.88%. Math and science are the standout subjects: 6th grade math reached 80% (district 38.46%, state 40.2%), and 6th grade science reached 75% (district 32.56%, state 41.2%). Fifth grade social studies was 64.29%, above the district's 52.1% and the state's 47.2%. ELA is comparatively weaker but still above the state in every grade; 4th grade ELA, at 50%, is the only 2025–26 comparison where the school trails its district (52.24%).
Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism is 12.8%, lower than the district's 19.2% and the state's 16.7%, and 37.09% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school spends $12,736 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 14.6. Scores improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in every comparable subject: ELA up 3.44 points, math up 2.59, science up 4.51, and 5th grade social studies up 14.29. The main limitation is that this is a single-school area within the Franklin County Community School Corp, so no later-grade outcomes are captured.
