Summary:

North Putnam Community Schools is a four-school district in Indiana serving about 1,370 students across two elementary schools (PK–5), one middle school (6–8), and one high school (9–12). The district is ranked 89th of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars. Enrollment is concentrated in the elementary grades (674 students, 49.2%), followed by the high school (397) and middle school (299).

North Putnam Senior High School is the district's clear standout: ranked 47th of 415 high schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), up from 113th of 429 the prior year. Its graduation rate is 98.9% versus 89.7% statewide, and SAT Math proficiency is 38.82% compared with the state's 25.6%, while SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 54.12% against 51.9%. Chronic absenteeism is 14.8%, below the state's 16.7%, and only 8.56% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. North Putnam Middle School shows a contrast: it has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (9.7%), lowest student-teacher ratio (12.7), and highest per-student spending ($11,804), yet its all-grade proficiency sits below district averages — ELA 38.85% vs 42.01%, Math 37.50% vs 43.37%, Science 33.65% vs 41.5%. It ranks 200th of 486 middle schools (59th percentile, 3 stars).

Both elementaries outperform the district in all-grade core subjects, but their trajectories differ.
