Summary:
Flora, Indiana is served by three public schools covering grades PK through 12, all within Carroll Consolidated School Corp: Carroll Elementary School (PK–6, 577 students), Carroll Junior High School (7–8, 143 students), and Carroll Senior High School (9–12, 303 students), for a total enrollment of 1,023. The district ranks 216th of 374 Indiana districts — about the 42nd percentile — with 2 stars.
Carroll Senior High School is the standout, ranking in the 63rd percentile with 3 stars, a 97.5% graduation rate (above the state's 89.7%), and SAT reading/writing at 59.7% versus the state's 51.9%. Its SAT Math, however, is only 11.94% against the state's 25.6%, one of the widest reading-to-math gaps around. It also spends the most per student, $13,291. Carroll Junior High School has the area's best attendance, with chronic absenteeism of just 4.7% compared with the district's 10.9% and the state's 16.7%, plus the smallest classes (student-teacher ratio 10.7) and lowest spending ($10,039). Yet it ranks in the 31st percentile, with ELA at 22.93% and Math at 27.39%, both below district averages, and both fell by roughly 11 points in a year.
Carroll Elementary School, the largest school, beats its district in ELA, Math, and Science at the all-grades level, and 5th-grade Social Studies was above the state in both years (47.89% vs. 47.2%, and 44.74% vs. 38.5% previously). Still, its grade-level core scores are mostly below state averages, and Science dropped sharply from 45.16% to 33.78%. Notably, all three schools have slipped in rank since 2023–2024. The most urgent signals for families: junior high ELA and Math, high school SAT Math, and elementary Science.
