Summary:
Zip code 46366 (North Judson, Indiana) is served by exactly one elementary school, North Judson-San Pierre Elementary School, a PK–4 building with 471 students that is part of the North Judson-San Pierre School Corp. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there is no local comparison to make — the picture below is a deep dive on this single school. Statewide, the school holds a 3-star rating and sits at the 51st percentile (501 of 1,015 schools) for 2025–2026, an improvement from 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024. Its district overall is rated 2 stars at the 39th percentile, so the elementary school is a relative bright spot within a below-average district.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance and fourth-grade academics. Chronic absenteeism was 10.8% in 2024–2025, notably lower than the district's 12.4% and well below the state's 16.7%. Fourth-grade English Language Arts reached 52.46% proficient versus the state's 42.2%, and fourth-grade science hit 49.18% against the state's 43.8%. All three tested subjects improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 4.99 points to 40.91%, math rose 3.31 points to 44.7%, and science rose 3.32 points to 49.18%. In 2025–2026 the school's all-grades ELA, math, and science results each finished above the district's, with math leading by 13.19 points.
There are real caveats. Results swing sharply by grade: third grade trails the state in ELA (30.99% vs. 40.8%) and math (45.07% vs. 51.9%), and math is below the state at both tested grades, while fourth grade exceeds it in ELA and science. A reported fifth-grade social studies score of 52.17% is worth verifying, since the school is listed as serving PK–4. Per-student spending ($11,792) and the 12.2:1 student–teacher ratio have no state benchmark here, so neither can be called high or low. With 53.29% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, low absenteeism, and above-state fourth-grade reading and science, the profile is favorable — but the district's 2-star rating describes the whole system, not this building.
