Summary

Mount Healthy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 406 students in grades PK-6 in Columbus, Indiana. The school is part of the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation district, which is ranked 160 out of 380 districts in the state.

Despite spending more per student than the district average, Mount Healthy Elementary consistently underperforms on standardized tests compared to both the district and the state of Indiana. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.88% of Mount Healthy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.33% for the district and 40.3% statewide. In math, 31.8% of Mount Healthy students were proficient or better, compared to 41.54% for the district and 51.5% statewide. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.0% to 19.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Mount Healthy to other nearby schools, the differences in academic performance are stark. For example, Southside Elementary School, which is just 7.62 miles away, had significantly higher ILEARN proficiency rates in 2024-2025, with 57.23% in English Language Arts and 66.27% in Math. Similarly, the CSA Lincoln Campus, a public magnet school in the same district, had exceptional academic performance, with 70.65% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 82.09% in Math. These comparisons highlight the challenges Mount Healthy Elementary faces in providing a high-quality education for its students.
