Summary

Monger Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 394 students in Elkhart, Indiana, part of Elkhart Community Schools. About 67% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25, and its district ranks 317th of 374 Indiana districts (15th percentile, 1 star). Against that backdrop, Monger is a notable outlier: in 2025-26 it ranked 573rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (44th percentile, 2 stars) — roughly at the state midpoint and nearly three times its own district's percentile standing.

Math is the school's clearest strength. In 2025-26, 51.25% of students were proficient in math versus 24.73% district-wide — more than double. Fourth-grade math (69.39%) was the highest of the 11 nearby schools compared, ahead of Concord Ox Bow Elementary School (57.33%) and Riverview Elementary School (58.06%), and above every Elkhart peer by 20+ points. On all-grades math, Monger sits essentially even with top-rated Ox Bow (52.10%). Attendance has improved sharply too: chronic absenteeism fell from 32.4% in 2020-21 to 18.3% in 2024-25, about 10 points better than the district.

Reading is the open question. ELA proficiency slipped 6.4 points to 34.59% in 2025-26, breaking a two-year run of 3-star ratings, while math, science, and social studies all improved. Fifth grade lags (ELA 24.59% versus the state's 42.2%), even though 4th grade is strong. Monger serves a higher-poverty population than Mary Beck Elementary School yet posts roughly 8–12 times its ELA proficiency — and Beck spends more per student ($15,262 vs. $13,479). Notably, nearby Premier Arts Academy has smaller classes and lower absenteeism but far lower proficiency, a reminder that class size and attendance alone don't guarantee results.
