Summary

Center Grove Middle School North is a 6–8 middle school serving 1,080 students in Greenwood, Indiana, a suburban community just south of Indianapolis, as part of the Center Grove Community School Corp. In 2025–26 it ranked 22nd of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 95th percentile with 5 stars — its third consecutive year at 5 stars, up from 60th of 494 in 2015–16. All-grade proficiency was 62.76% in ELA, 59.05% in Math, and 58.12% in Science.

Among nearby schools, North is second only to same-district Center Grove Middle School Central, which ranked 13th, but the gap to everyone else is wide. Clark Pleasant Middle School, Greenwood Middle School, and Perry Meridian Middle School scored roughly 8–19 points lower in ELA and Math, while Beech Grove Middle School, Southport Middle School, Decatur Middle School, and Lynhurst 7th & 8th Grade Center trail by much more. Biology End of Course results are a signature strength: 98.53% in 2025–26 and 100% in the three prior years, far above the district's 62.9% and the state's 45.6%. North also serves more low-income students than Central (33.8% vs 19.41% free/reduced lunch), spends less per student ($9,314), and has larger classes (18.7:1) than most neighbors, yet still lands in the top 5% of the state.

Inside the school, 8th grade is the brightest spot: 70.85% in ELA and 57.6% in Math, above both the district and Central. Sixth and 7th grades generally trail district averages in ELA, Math, and Science, which is the clearest opportunity for growth. Chronic absenteeism was 10.8% in 2024–25 — better than the state's 16.7% and most nearby schools, but above the district's 9.4% and Central's 6.9%.
