Summary:
ZIP code 47516 in Bruceville, Indiana contains just one elementary school in this data set — North Knox Intermediate, serving grades 3–6 with 370 students as part of the North Knox School Corp. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there are no local alternatives within the data set to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are its district and the state of Indiana.
The school's brightest results are in 5th grade. Fifth-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 48.28%, above the state's 42.2%, and 5th grade Social Studies is 48.28%, also above the state's 47.2% — a subject that jumped from 35.05% the previous year. All-grade ELA rose from 31.79% to 38.76%, and both all-grade ELA (38.76%) and all-grade Math (33.99%) beat the district's 36.45% and 28.99% respectively. Chronic absenteeism, at 16.8%, is better than the district's 19.6% and essentially level with the state's 16.7%. Families should note, though, that the school holds a 2-star rating and ranked 578 of 1,015 schools (43rd percentile) in 2025–2026 — an improvement from 38th percentile the year before, but still below its 48th percentile in 2023–2024.
The clearest academic concern is Math. Every grade level trails the state: 3rd grade at 46.07% vs. 51.9%, 4th at 34.12% vs. 52%, 5th at 31.03% vs. 42%, and 6th at 25.26% vs. 40.2%, with the widest gaps in 4th and 6th grade. Science is also below state in both 4th grade (36.47% vs. 43.8%) and 6th grade (34.04% vs. 41.2%). ELA is mixed: strong in 5th grade, essentially at state in 6th, but more than 8 points below state in grades 3 and 4. Contextually, 57.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $9,375, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.4.
