Summary

North Miami Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in the small rural community of Denver, Indiana, serving 451 students as part of North Miami Community Schools. Its 2025–2026 results place it 318th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (69th percentile, 3 stars), which is considerably stronger than its own district's 194th-of-374 standing (48th percentile, 2 stars). That makes it a relative bright spot locally: its rank is higher than every nearby school with a current rank, even though several surrounding districts rank above its own.

Math is the standout subject. The school's all-grade math result is 55.98% proficient, well above the district's 42.77% and the best among nearby schools with comparable data, including Sharp Creek Elementary School (54.18%), O J Neighbours Elementary School (30.61%) and Caston Elementary School (39.30%). Third-grade math is especially strong at 75.44%, more than 23 points above the state. English language arts is also above the district and nearby schools at 42.58%, but it is uneven: 4th-grade ELA is only 30.00% versus the state's 42.2%, making 4th-grade reading the clearest improvement target. Science results are solid, and 5th-grade social studies has climbed to 55.56% from 31.25% in 2022–2023.

The school's upward trend is a major strength: it rose from the 36th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 69th percentile in 2025–2026, while Blair Pointe Upper Elementary, Akron Elementary School and Caston have declined or stayed flat. Chronic absenteeism is 13.8%, better than the district's 18.0% and the state's 16.7%, though Sharp Creek (6.4%) and Akron (7.9%) show lower rates are achievable in the area. The free/reduced-lunch rate of 39.91% is the lowest among nearby schools, and these gains have come with mid-pack spending of $10,321 per student and a 16.4:1 student-teacher ratio.
