North Miami Community Schools

North Miami Community Schools is a small Indiana district with just two schools serving a combined 818 students in grades PK–12: North Miami Elementary School (PK–6, 451 students) and North Miami Middle/High School (7–12, 367 students). The district, North Miami Community Schools, ranks 194th of 374 Indiana districts — the 48th percentile — with a 2-star rating. Because grades 7 and 8 are housed inside the middle/high building, the district reports 0 middle schools.

North Miami Elementary School is the stronger of the two schools. It has earned 3 stars in each of the last three reported years, and its rank percentile climbed from 55 to 57 to 69. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–25 was 13.8%, better than the district's 18.0% and the state's 16.7%. Its 2025–26 all-grades proficiency was ELA 42.58% and math 55.98%, both above the district figures of 39.31% and 42.77%, while science was 47.66%, slightly below the district's 48.15%. Grade 3 math stood out at 75.44% versus the state's 51.9%, though grade 4 ELA was a weak spot at 30% versus the state's 42.2%.

North Miami Middle/High School shows a split picture. Its 2024–25 graduation rate of 91.1% is above the state's 89.7%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 55.36% versus the state's 51.9%. Math, however, is a serious concern: all-grades math was 17.43% against the district's 42.77%, grade 8 math was 11.11% versus the state's 34.2%, and SAT math was 3.57% versus 25.6%. Chronic absenteeism was 23.1% — 9.3 percentage points higher than the elementary school. The school spends $12,543 per student versus $10,321 at the elementary, with a lower student/teacher ratio of 12.8 versus 16.4. Its 2025–26 all-grades science value is not provided, so it should be treated as unknown rather than as a weakness.
