Summary

Northwood Elementary School is a K–6 school in Mooresville, IN, serving 402 students as part of Mooresville Con School Corp. It is a 3-star school ranked 343rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 (66th percentile), up from 540th of 1,016 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2020–21. The district is ranked 104th of 374 (72nd percentile, 4 stars), while nearby North Madison Elementary School is a 4-star school.

Math is Northwood’s clearest strength: all-grade math is 60.89% vs. 53.20% district, above Neil Armstrong Elementary School (52.17%) and Newby Memorial Elementary School (48.34%), and tied with North Madison Elementary School (60.89 vs. 60.87). ELA is mixed: all-grade ELA is 46.49%, slightly above district 45.79%, below North Madison Elementary School (51.09%), above Neil Armstrong Elementary School (36.36%). 3rd grade ELA (54.55%) and 6th grade ELA (53.03%) are strong, but 4th grade is a broad weak spot—4th ELA 36.62% (vs. district 44.95%, state 42.2%), 4th math 53.52% (vs. district 58.96%), 4th science 35.21% (vs. district 44.63%, state 43.8%). Science overall is 39.42%, below district 41.32%; 5th social studies is 32.35% vs. district 42.12% and state 47.20%. 6th math is a hidden strength at 56.06%, highest among same-district schools.

Chronic absenteeism improved to 12.5% in 2024–25, below district 13.3% and state 16.7%, better than Neil Armstrong Elementary School and Newby Memorial Elementary School, though most Plainfield schools are lower. Spending is $11,827 per student, up 38% from $8,560 in 2020–21 and $2,333 more than North Madison Elementary School, which has higher ELA/science and better attendance. Student-teacher ratio is 16:1. Northwood outperforms West Newton Elementary School and Newby Memorial Elementary School in math but trails North Madison Elementary School and higher-performing Plainfield schools like Central Elementary School, Van Buren Elementary School, Brentwood Elementary School, and Guilford Elementary in ELA, science, and social studies. Bottom line: a 3-star school with a clear upward trend, strong math, solid 6th grade, and improving attendance; main challenges are 4th grade across subjects, 5th social studies, and science overall.
