Summary

Southmont Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in Crawfordsville, Indiana, with 392 students, part of the South Montgomery Com School Corp.

Southmont ranks 52nd of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 89th percentile with a 4-star rating—the top 11% of middle schools statewide. The district is ranked 64th of 374 Indiana districts. That said, the school has cooled slightly from a peak: it reached the 97th percentile in 2023–24 and 90th in 2024–25. In 2025–26, proficiency rates were 61.11% in ELA, 50.56% in Math, 54.63% in Science, and 89.66% on the Biology End-of-Course exam. Chronic absenteeism was 14.6% in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch was 38.78%, per-student spending was $10,579 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–25.

Among nearby middle schools, Southmont ranks highest—well above North Montgomery Middle School (79th percentile), North Putnam Middle School (59th), Parke Heritage Middle School (52nd), and Crawfordsville Middle School (51st)—and leads them in all three major ILEARN subjects. ELA is a standout: 7th grade scored 66.94% versus a state rate of 41.7%, and 8th grade scored 64.57% versus 44%. Biology results are exceptional, though that exam likely reflects a smaller group of test-takers. Math is the weaker spot: 7th-grade math was strong at 59.68% (state: 35.9%), but 8th-grade math was only 34.65%, barely above the state's 34.2% and behind Parke Heritage (45.21%) and North Putnam (43.62%). Notably, North Montgomery has similar enrollment, poverty, spending, and class sizes, yet Southmont produces notably better ELA and Science outcomes.
