Summary:
North Montgomery Com School Corp is an Indiana district of five schools — three elementary, one middle, and one high school — all located in Crawfordsville, serving roughly 1,847 students. The district ranks 47th of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 87th percentile with a 4-star rating. Elementary schools enroll 900 students combined, the middle school 400, and the high school 547.
The district's academic strength sits in its elementary schools, which average the 84th percentile in state rankings. Sugar Creek Elementary School is the standout: 53rd of 1,015 elementary schools, 95th percentile, 5 stars, with all-grade ELA at 66.1, math at 78.81, and science at 71.43. It also has the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate at 52.4% and its lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.0. Pleasant Hill Elementary School follows at 122nd (88th percentile, 4 stars), with ELA of 66.39 and math of 71.31. Lester B Sommer Elementary School ranks 319th (69th percentile, 3 stars), with ELA 49.02, math 56.21, and science 46.88, but has the district's best attendance at 7.0% chronic absenteeism.
North Montgomery Middle School improved sharply, moving from the 60th–61st percentile to the 79th (4 stars), with all-grade ELA rising to 46.44 and math to 48.89; grades 6 and 7 math far exceed state averages, though grade 8 math (33.81) sits near the state's 34.2. North Montgomery High School is more mixed — a 100% graduation rate versus the state's 89.7% and biology improving to 51.72, but SAT math of 20.34 versus the state's 25.6 and the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 16.1%. All five schools beat the state's 16.7% absenteeism rate, and spending does not track outcomes: the highest-spending school posts lower proficiency than the top elementaries.
