Summary:

South Montgomery Com School Corp serves about 1,684 students across five schools: three elementary schools (PK–5), one junior high (6–8), and one senior high (9–12). The district ranks 64th of 374 Indiana districts — the 83rd percentile — with 4 stars, and four of its five schools earned 4 stars or better in 2025-26. Attendance is a district-wide strength: the district chronic absenteeism rate is 13.3% against the state's 16.7%, and every school sits below the state average.

Ladoga Elementary School is the academic standout, ranking 148th of 1,015 elementary schools (85th percentile, 4 stars) with 61.11% ELA and 72.22% math proficiency, including 80.77% in 5th grade ELA, math, and social studies. It does this while carrying the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate (50.55%) and highest student/teacher ratio (20.9). Southmont Junior High School has the strongest rank history in the district — 97th, 90th, and 89th percentile over three years — with 61.11% ELA, 54.63% science, and an 89.66% Biology EOC result. Southmont Senior High School posts a 98.3% graduation rate (state: 89.7%) and SAT EBRW of 69.61% (state: 51.9%). New Market Elementary School rose from 3 stars to 4 stars, with math at 63.45%.

Walnut Elementary School is the main watch point, falling to the 49th percentile and 2 stars, with ELA at 41.46%, math at 48.78%, and science at 39.29% — all below district averages — though 3rd grade math stayed strong at 66.67%. District-wide, elementary science and junior high math are the clearest relative gaps, while spending and class size show no simple relationship to results.
