Summary:
Geist Montessori Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in McCordsville, Indiana. With 273 students enrolled, the school has a district rank of 182 out of 380 in Indiana and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 699 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 (2 stars) to 444 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024 (3 stars) and 493 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025 (3 stars).
Geist Montessori Academy's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments above the state average in some areas, such as 7th grade English Language Arts, but below average in others, like 5th and 7th grade Math. The school has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (2.93%), suggesting a relatively affluent student population. However, the school's high per-student spending of $10,770 and student-teacher ratio of 24.8 do not necessarily translate to higher academic performance.
Overall, Geist Montessori Academy appears to be a moderately performing school with some areas of strength and some areas for improvement. While the school's small size, low poverty rate, and high per-student spending suggest it may serve a relatively privileged student population, the academic outcomes are mixed compared to state averages. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the school's strengths, challenges, and areas for potential improvement.
