Summary

Community Montessori is a PK–12 public charter Montessori school in New Albany, Indiana, serving 487 students, and it operates as its own district, Community Montessori Inc — so the school's figures and its district's figures are one and the same. Because those 487 students are spread across 14 grade levels, many reported percentages rest on very small classes, and a single year of data is best read as a rough signal rather than a precise measurement.

The school's clearest strengths are completion and high-school reading. Its graduation rate was 100% in 2024-25 and has never fallen below 90% in the last five years, running roughly nine points above the state each year. Eleventh-grade SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing reached 71.88%. Classes are small (a 12.8 student–teacher ratio), poverty is low (20.74% free/reduced lunch), and per-pupil spending is the highest among nearby alternatives at $9,972 — up about 33% in four years. Compared with Rock Creek Community Academy, it graduates students at the same rate but leads only on SAT Reading; compared with the much larger virtual Indiana Gateway Digital Academy (part of Clarksville Community School Corp), it outperforms on every measure.

Math is the consistent weak spot at every level: 13.04% proficient on ILEARN Math, 18.75% on SAT Math, and just 2.78% in 8th-grade math. ILEARN ELA has fallen from 40.21% to 36.84% to 23.19% over the last three reported years, with similar declines in math and science, and chronic absenteeism rose to 19.2% in 2024-25 — above the state rate and above Rock Creek. The central puzzle in this data is a 100% graduation rate sitting alongside below-state proficiency.
