Summary

Maple Ridge Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 858 students in Pendleton, Indiana, part of the South Madison Com School Corp, a highly ranked Indiana district (43rd of 374) in a suburban area between Indianapolis and Anderson.

The school is a four-star school ranked 229th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (77th percentile), up from 443rd in 2021–2022 — a 20-point percentile gain. Math is the clearest strength: 60.75% of all grades tested proficient, above the district's 55.28% and matching Pendleton Elementary School. Third-grade math stands out at 84.13%, well above district (76.8%) and state (51.9%). ELA (50.59%) and science (47.25%) trail the district slightly, and both trail East Elementary School and Pendleton Elementary. Sixth grade is the weakest spot, below district in ELA, math, and science. Fifth-grade social studies (61.11%) is a bright spot, above district and state and up sharply from 45.45% the prior year.

Chronic absenteeism is just 7.3%, less than half the state's 16.7% and down from 11.4% in 2022–2023. Spending was $9,944 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 19.6 — the highest among nearby schools. Notably, 45.8% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, higher than its same-district peers. Compared with Erskine Elementary School in the Anderson Community School Corp — only about 7.6 miles away, spending $16,457 per student yet posting far lower proficiency — Maple Ridge delivers much stronger outcomes. Meanwhile, nearby Hamilton Southeastern Schools post higher proficiency but serve far more affluent populations. Overall, Maple Ridge is a solid, improving school with math and attendance as strengths and ELA/science as areas to watch.
