Summary

Ladoga Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 182 students in Ladoga, IN, part of the South Montgomery Com School Corp, a district ranked 64th of 374 in Indiana. Ladoga has been a consistently strong performer: it ranked 148th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — 85th percentile, 4 stars — after 96th of 1,005 (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025 and 48th of 1,016 (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2022–2023.

Within its own district, Ladoga is the strongest of the three elementaries, outscoring New Market Elementary School and Walnut Elementary School in ELA, Math, and Science while serving a higher share of students from lower-income families (50.55% versus 43.16% and 36.14%). Across nearby schools more broadly, its 85th-percentile rank tops Bainbridge Elementary School, Roachdale Elementary School, Mollie B Hoover Elementary School, Walnut, and New Market, but sits below Sugar Creek Elementary School (95th) and North Salem Elementary School (92nd), and roughly even with Granville Wells Elementary School (86th).

Math is Ladoga's most reliable strength: all-grade proficiency has stayed between 72.22% and 78.67% over four recent years, and fifth grade reached 80.77% in ELA, Math, and Social Studies. The clearest soft spot is third-grade ELA at 41.94%, and Science has been volatile, falling from 87.5% to 46.67%. Chronic absenteeism (11.7%) remains below district (13.3%) and state (16.7%) levels but rose from 7.2%. Notably, Ladoga has the highest per-student spending ($13,476) and the highest student-teacher ratio (20.9) among nearby schools — an unusual pairing worth watching. Because grade-level cohorts here are small, year-to-year swings should be read cautiously.
