Summary

North Liberty School is a K–6 elementary school in North Liberty, Indiana — a small town in the John Glenn school area south of South Bend — serving 474 students as part of the John Glenn School Corporation.

North Liberty is a solid, improving school. It earned 4 stars and ranked in the 72nd percentile of Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, up from 3 stars and the 60th percentile in the two prior years. Math is its clearest strength: 55.52% of students were proficient, above the district (46.85%) and above every nearby school except Olive Township. Science (58.62%) and 5th-grade Social Studies (51.39%) are also strengths, and 6th grade is a standout, with 73.53% proficiency in ELA, 64.71% in Math, and 67.65% in Science. The main academic gap is English/language arts, where all-grade proficiency is 47.93%, below the district, with the weakness concentrated in 3rd grade (36.99%) and 5th grade (38.89%). Chronic absenteeism is a real bright spot at 8.9%, well below the district (10.8%) and the state (16.7%).

Compared with nearby schools, North Liberty outperforms LaVille Elementary School, Indian Trail Elementary School, Success Academy Primary School, and the South Bend Community School Corp schools in most subjects, while spending far less per student ($10,034 versus $15,613–$18,476 in South Bend). Its same-district peer Walkerton Elementary School ranks slightly higher overall and scores higher in ELA and Science, but North Liberty leads in Math and Social Studies. Olive Township Elementary School remains the local benchmark, ahead of North Liberty in every subject with lower absenteeism and much higher spending. About half of North Liberty's students (50.0%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, a share that has grown in recent years and is worth watching.
