Summary:

Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp serves roughly 11,329 students across 15 schools — 11 elementary, 3 middle, and 1 high school — in a high-performing northern Indiana district that ranks 34th of 374 Indiana districts (91st percentile, 5 stars). Enrollment splits into 4,998 elementary, 2,644 middle, and 3,687 high school students.

Several schools here are among the strongest in Indiana. Discovery Middle School ranks 3rd of 486 middle schools (99th percentile, 5 stars) with 78.51% ELA, 69.71% math, and 75.49% science proficiency. Prairie Vista Elementary School ranks 4th of 1,015 (100th percentile) and leads elementaries at 83.46% ELA, 84.23% math, and 85.23% science, with 91.67% in 5th grade social studies. Northpoint Elementary School ranks 6th of 1,015 and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the list at 3.2%. Horizon Elementary School (62nd of 1,015) is math-strong at 73.96%. Mary Frank Harris Elementary School (98th) is science-strong at 72.22% while spending the least per student, $9,356. Madison Elementary School (80th) is small, with 117 students, the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.6, and 70.91% ELA and math. Penn High School (15th of 415) graduates 97.5% of students and posts 71.69% SAT ELA and 43.50% SAT math, well above the state's 51.9% and 25.6%.

Other schools sit closer to state averages. Meadow's Edge Elementary School (50th percentile) has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 63.35% and proficiency of 40.72% ELA, 45.88% math, and 42.03% science. Walt Disney Elementary School (55th percentile) is similar. Virgil I Grissom Middle School has the highest absenteeism at 16.0% with 37.56% math. Yet the link between poverty and results is not fixed — Bittersweet Elementary School reaches 72.20% math despite 34.01% free/reduced lunch. Spending and class size also don't tell a simple story: the top-ranked Schmucker Middle School and the lowest-ranked schools overlap in resources.
