Summary

North Judson-San Pierre Elementary School is a PK–4 school serving 471 students in North Judson, Indiana, a small Starke County community, and it is the only elementary school in the North Judson-San Pierre School Corp.

In 2025-2026 the school ranked 501st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 51st percentile, or 3 stars, right around the state midpoint. That is a real improvement from 2018-2019, when it sat at the 29th percentile with 1 star, though the climb has flattened over the past three years. The building is clearly stronger than its district: it beats district proficiency by about 7 points in reading and 13 points in math, while the North Judson-San Pierre School Corp as a whole ranks 39th percentile with 2 stars. Among nearby schools, Culver Elementary School (65th percentile), Oregon-Davis Elementary School (61st), and Eastern Pulaski Elementary School (59th) rank higher, while Knox Community Elementary School (48th), West Central Elementary School (31st), and Tri-Township Elementary School (27th) rank lower.

Two things stand out for parents. Fourth grade reading (52.46%) and science (49.18%) are above the state average, but third grade reading (30.99%) lags badly and math is below state at both tested grades, making math the most consistent weakness. Chronic absenteeism, meanwhile, has been cut roughly in half — from 21.6% to 10.8% in two years — well ahead of both the district and the state, and an encouraging sign in a school where 53.29% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Class sizes are the smallest in the area at 12.2 to 1, and per-student spending is $11,792, mid-pack locally; notably, nearby Tri-Township Elementary School spends far more ($16,597) with weaker results.
