Summary:
Zip code 46779 contains one school, Pleasant Lake Montessori School, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 99 students in MSD Steuben County, Indiana. The district is ranked 179 of 374, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars. The school’s recent rating history has declined: it was 3 stars and 52nd percentile in 2023–2024, then 1 star and 25th percentile in 2024–2025, and 1 star and 23rd percentile in 2025–2026.
Academically, results are mixed. In 2025–2026, all-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 28.26%, below the district’s 38.16%, but 3rd grade ELA (41.67%) and 5th grade ELA (46.15%) topped district and state averages. Math is the clearest weakness: all-grade math was 10.87% proficient, far below the district’s 39.79%, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math were also well below district and state levels. Science fell from 35.29% in 2024–2025 to 23.81% in 2025–2026, compared with the district’s 42.25%. 4th grade ELA and math were both 6.25% proficient. Chronic absenteeism was 15.7%, better than the district’s 17.7% and the state’s 16.7%.
Other context: 72.73% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $13,659 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio was 12.9 in 2024–2025. With only 99 students, grade-level percentages can swing widely from year to year. School-level 6th grade ELA, math, and science scores are not reported in this extract, so they cannot be judged. Overall, the school has some grade-level ELA strengths and relatively favorable absenteeism, but very low math proficiency, uneven ELA, below-district science, and a recent drop to 1-star ratings are the dominant patterns for families to consider.
