Summary

New Market Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the small town of New Market, IN, serving 468 students as part of the South Montgomery Com School Corp. It ranks 280th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 72nd percentile, or 4 stars — after three straight 3-star years. That marks a recovery toward the school's historical strength, when it reached the 88th percentile in 2015–2016. Roughly 43% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 11.4%, better than both the district (13.3%) and state (16.7%) rates.

Math is the school's clearest strength: 63.45% of students are proficient, above the district's 56.52%, with 5th grade math at 69.88% versus 42% statewide. English language arts is the weaker area at 49.16%, below the district's 55.19%, leaving a gap of about 14 percentage points between math and reading. Fourth grade is a specific soft spot, with ELA at 38.36% — below district and state — while 3rd and 5th grade ELA both exceed state averages. Science sits near the middle at 45.21%, though 4th grade science (45.21%) edges out the state (43.8%). Fifth grade social studies rebounded sharply to 49.4% from 32.84% the prior year.

Comparisons with neighboring schools are instructive. Ladoga Elementary School, in the same district, posts higher ELA (61.11%) and math (72.22%) despite more poverty and a much larger class-size ratio, while Walnut Elementary School has lower poverty and smaller classes but lower results. Sugar Creek Elementary School (95th percentile) and Pleasant Hill Elementary School (88th percentile), both in the North Montgomery Com School Corp, outperform New Market in reading. Crawfordsville's schools, including Meredith Nicholson Elementary School, face far higher poverty and much lower proficiency.
