Summary

Mount Tabor Elementary School is a PK–4 school at 800 Mount Tabor Road in New Albany, Indiana, serving 655 students — the largest elementary enrollment in its immediate comparison group. It is one of seven elementary schools in the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district, a comparatively strong district ranked 102nd of 374 in Indiana. Mount Tabor currently ranks 497th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 51st percentile, with 3 stars.

The school has an unusual subject profile: math is a strength and reading is a weakness. Math proficiency (54.51%) is above both its district and the state, and ranks 3rd among the ten nearby schools compared. ELA proficiency (36.09%) is below the state at both tested grades and ranks 8th of ten — last among its six same-district peers. The 2025-26 school year brought a real, broad-based decline: ELA fell 14.4 points and math fell 11.6 points while the district's ELA actually improved, so this is not a statewide testing shift. Still, the school has rebounded before — it climbed from the 20th percentile in 2015-16 to the 78th–79th percentile in 2023-24 and 2024-25.

The most striking difference from nearby schools is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 25.4% — about 1.6 times the district rate, and roughly double that of Slate Run Elementary School, which sits 1.38 miles away with similar enrollment, similar poverty levels and nearly identical test results. Against Green Valley Elementary School, which has higher poverty and higher absenteeism, Mount Tabor lands at the same 51st percentile. Meanwhile, its per-student spending of $12,672 is roughly $2,500 more than higher-performing Grant Line Elementary School and Floyds Knobs Elementary School. Attendance is the clearest lever available.
