Summary:
Barr-Reeve Community Schools Inc is a single-school district in Montgomery, Indiana, and its only high school is Barr Reeve Middle/High School, which serves grades 6 through 12 and roughly 522 students. Because it is the district's only secondary campus, there is no other school to compare it with locally, but it can still be measured against district and state figures — and by those measures it performs very well.
The school ranks 15th out of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 96th percentile, and it holds 5 stars. Its school-level ranking has stayed near the top of the state for three years running: 8th of 432 in 2023–2024, 20th of 429 in 2024–2025, and 18th of 415 in 2025–2026 — 5-star status every year and consistently within roughly the top 5% of ranked schools. Outcomes for students are exceptional: a 100.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025, compared with 89.7% statewide, and chronic absenteeism of just 3.6% versus 16.7% statewide.
Math is a particular strength. In 2025–2026, ILEARN math proficiency beat the state at every grade level tested — 67.39% in 6th grade, 53.54% in 7th, and 46.38% in 8th — and 11th grade SAT math reached 55.7% against 25.6% statewide. SAT reading and writing was 74.68% versus 51.9% statewide. Reading results were solid but the margin over the state was narrower, and Biology fell from 69.12% to 62.67%. The school's all-grade ILEARN results trail the district's all-grade figures, though that comparison is complicated because the district numbers likely include elementary grades. About 26% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $12,750, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.5:1.
