Summary:
North Judson-San Pierre School Corp serves about 914 students across just two schools — one elementary covering prekindergarten through grade 4 and one high school serving grades 9 through 12 — with no middle school listed, leaving a gap for grades 5–8 that families should note. The district overall ranks 228 of 374 statewide, in the 39th percentile with 2 stars, below the state median.
The North Judson-San Pierre Elementary School, with 471 students, is the stronger of the two. It moved from 2 stars to 3 stars and now ranks 501 of 1,015 (51st percentile), and it beats district averages in all-grade ELA (40.91), Math (44.7) and Science (49.18). Its 4th-grade ELA (52.46 vs. state 42.2) and 4th-grade Science (49.18 vs. state 43.8) are above state, while 3rd-grade ELA (30.99 vs. state 40.8) and both tested math grades trail the state. The North Judson-San Pierre High School, with 443 students, ranks 273 of 415 (34th percentile, 2 stars). Its 90.5% graduation rate is above the state's 89.7%, but SAT Math proficiency was 9.59% against 25.6% statewide — a persistent gap of roughly 15–16 percentage points — and SAT reading fell to 45.21% after reaching 64% the year before.
Chronic absenteeism is below the state at both schools (elementary 10.8%, high school 14.2%, state 16.7%). The high school spends $14,291 per student versus $11,792 at the elementary, even though the elementary has the higher free/reduced lunch rate. The takeaway for parents is a district with a solid elementary school and a high school that struggles most in math and has uneven reading results, alongside a grade-span gap between grades 4 and 9 that is worth raising with the district.
