Summary

Mount Carmel School is a small K–6 elementary school in Cedar Grove, Indiana, serving 213 students as part of Franklin County Community School Corp, and it is the clear standout within its own district. In 2025–26 it ranked 180th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 82nd percentile with 4 stars — while the district overall sits at 3 stars and the 57th percentile. That is not a one-year blip: Mount Carmel has climbed from the 56th–71st percentile range a decade ago to the low-to-mid 80s recently, earning 4 stars in each of the last three reported years, and it far outpaces same-district peers Laurel School and Brookville Elementary School.

Test results are the school's strongest selling point. In 2025–26 all-grade ILEARN results, Mount Carmel scored 51.72% in English language arts, 64.66% in math and 61.11% in science — well above its district average in every subject, with math nearly 29 points higher. Among nearby schools, only North Dearborn Elementary School scored higher in math and science; Mount Carmel's ELA result is above district but essentially tied with College Corner Union Elementary School and well behind North Dearborn. Sixth grade is a clear highlight (80% proficient in math, 75% in science, 55% in ELA), far above nearby K–6 schools such as Everton Elementary School that report sixth-grade data. Fifth-grade social studies, at 64.29%, is also second only to North Dearborn. The one soft spot: fourth-grade ELA sits slightly below the district average, though still above the state.

Attendance is better than the district and state — 12.8% chronic absenteeism versus 19.2% district and 16.7% state — but higher than North Dearborn, Sunman Elementary School, Bright Elementary School, Liberty Elementary School and Batesville Intermediate School. About 37% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a moderate poverty level for the area, and per-student spending of $12,736 is higher than most nearby schools. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.6, resources alone do not explain the results.
