Summary:
The North Adams Community Schools district in Indiana has one elementary school, Bellmont Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district is ranked 104 out of 380 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Bellmont Elementary has a lower statewide ranking, ranging from 544 out of 1,005 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 684 out of 1,016 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bellmont Elementary's performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and math proficiency. The school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to state averages, which may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance. Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the state average, suggesting that resources may not be the primary issue.
The school's higher social studies proficiency rate in 5th grade is a bright spot, but it is not enough to offset the overall lower performance in other subject areas and grade levels. Overall, the data suggests that Bellmont Elementary is a relatively low-performing school within the North Adams Community Schools district and the state of Indiana, with room for improvement in key academic areas.
