Summary:
There is one school in this area: Geist Montessori Academy, a K–8 elementary school with 291 students in McCordsville, Indiana. It is also the only school in the Geist Montessori Academy district, which means district-level results and school-level results reflect the same students rather than two separate signals. The area summary lists 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 0 alternative schools, and the data set covers three years of rank history plus chronic absenteeism, ILEARN proficiency by subject and grade, free/reduced lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio.
Attendance is the clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was 10.7% in 2024–2025, well below the state's 16.7% — about 36% lower. The free/reduced lunch rate was very low at 2.41%, and per-student spending was $10,770 in 2023–2024, with a student-teacher ratio of 19.4 in 2024–2025. On academics, 3rd grade ELA was essentially at the state level (41.03% vs. 40.8%), 6th grade science was close to it (40.91% vs. 41.2%), and 5th grade social studies was above the state in 2024–2025 at 40.74% vs. 38.5%.
Results have slipped overall and math is the weakest area. Rank fell from 444 of 1,011 schools at the 56th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024 to 679 of 1,015 at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026; the district stands at 257 of 374, 31st percentile, 2 stars. All-grade proficiency declined in every core subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell 12.01 points to 34.93%, science 7.16 points to 34.38%, and math 4.58 points to 26.71%. Grade-level math gaps versus the state are large in grades 4–7, including 6th grade math at 9.09% vs. 40.2% statewide. ELA is below the state in grades 4–7, 5th grade social studies dropped to 29.17% vs. 47.2%, and 8th grade ELA and math school results are suppressed/unknown. With only 291 students across K–8, small cohorts can make year-to-year percentages volatile.
