Summary

Barr Reeve Middle/High School is a public combined middle/high school in Montgomery, IN, serving grades 6–12 with 522 students as part of Barr-Reeve Community Schools Inc. It ranks 18th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026, in the 96th percentile with 5 stars, and has held 5 stars every year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026. That places it well above nearby schools such as Jasper High School at 90th, Loogootee High School at 160th, and Washington High School at 239th.

For parents, graduation and attendance are especially strong at this school: its graduation rate was 100.0% in 2024–2025, while chronic absenteeism was just 3.6%, compared with 16.7% statewide and much higher rates at nearby schools, including Washington High School at 35.1% and Shoals Community High School at 52.9%. SAT performance is another differentiator: 74.68% proficient in SAT ERW and 55.70% in SAT Math in 2025–2026, above the state’s 51.9% and 25.6% and ahead of Jasper High School (59.42% and 35.14%). Middle-grade math also feeds this pipeline, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade proficiency at 67.39%, 53.54%, and 46.38%, all above state averages.

These results come without top-of-the-range resources: the school spends $12,750 per student and has a 14.5 student–teacher ratio, both moderate for the area. It serves its low-SES students well overall, though that subgroup’s rank has been more variable—86th percentile in 2025–2026, 98th in 2023–2024, and 69th in 2024–2025—while other student groups remain above average. Overall, Barr Reeve combines elite statewide ranking, near-perfect graduation, very low absenteeism, and exceptional SAT results, making it a clear regional standout.
