Summary:

Monroe County Community School Corp serves roughly 10,437 students across 21 schools — 14 elementary, 3 middle, 3 high, and 1 alternative — in and around Bloomington, Indiana. The district ranks 108th of 374 Indiana districts, about the 71st percentile, with 4 stars. Enrollment is concentrated at the two comprehensive high schools, Bloomington High School South (1,691) and Bloomington High School North (1,528), which together hold about 31% of listed students.

Academically, the district is sharply polarized. Childs Elementary School ranks 8th of 1,015 elementary schools with ELA 76.98 and Math 81.42, while Arlington Heights Elementary School sits in the 12th percentile with ELA 14.38 and Math 17.69 — a gap of more than 60 points in both subjects. Other standouts include Unionville Elementary School (highest elementary math, 82.5), Marlin Elementary School, Binford Elementary School (lowest chronic absenteeism at 5.8%), University Elementary School, and Jackson Creek Middle School, the clear middle-school leader. Among high schools, South outperforms North on nearly every measure, including graduation (97.6% vs 93.6%).

The lowest-performing schools — Arlington Heights, Templeton Elementary School, Clear Creek Elementary School, Grandview Elementary School, and Lora L Batchelor Middle School — also have the highest poverty rates (roughly 55–70% free/reduced lunch) and chronic absenteeism (18–24%). Fairview Elementary School shows high poverty does not automatically mean low results: its Math proficiency of 50.59 is above the district elementary reference, and its rank percentile rose from 41st to 65th. Spending and class size do not simply explain outcomes — Childs spends the least ($12,981) yet ranks first, while Bloomington High School South has the highest student-teacher ratio (17:1) and still performs at the top. Some data is also suppressed by the state, including science and grade-level ILEARN values at The Academy of Sci & Entrepreneurship, and Rogers Elementary School has no test scores because it serves grades K–2; treat these as unknown, not as weakness.
