Summary
Maple Grove Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Bargersville, Indiana, serving 755 students as part of the Center Grove Community School Corp, one of Indiana's strongest districts. In 2025–2026, it ranked 96th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (91st percentile) and earned a 5-star rating. Over the past decade, its statewide rank has stayed between 56th and 127th, placing it in roughly the top 6–12% of Indiana elementary schools every year.
The school's clearest academic strength is math. All Grades math proficiency is 67.85%, above the district average of 62.40% and higher than every nearby school except Union Elementary School and Center Grove Elementary School, with strong results in grades 3, 4, and 5. English language arts is comparatively softer at 63.83% overall — just below the district average and behind Center Grove, North Grove Elementary School, and Union — and 4th grade ELA sits about 6 points below the district's 4th grade average, though still well above the state. Science is solid, and 5th grade social studies (65.36%) is a bright spot. Attendance is excellent: chronic absenteeism is 6.2%, well below the district's 9.4% and the state's 16.7%, and far lower than Whiteland Elementary School, Break-O-Day Elementary School, and Pleasant Crossing Elementary, where rates run around 16–20%.
About 22.38% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, relatively low for the area. Spending is $9,169 per student, less than most nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio of 19.7 is the highest in the comparison group, up from 18.5 in 2022–2023. Even so, results remain strong. Maple Grove is not the top school in its own competitive district — Center Grove Elementary ranks higher statewide — but it consistently performs among Indiana's best elementary schools. The main opportunities are strengthening ELA, especially in 4th grade, and monitoring the rising student-teacher ratio.
