Summary:

Zip code 47558 covers Montgomery, Indiana and contains two schools — Barr Reeve Elementary School serving grades K–5 and Barr Reeve Middle/High School serving grades 6–12 — both part of the Barr-Reeve Community Schools Inc district, which together enroll about 1,029 students and rank in the 96th percentile of Indiana districts.

The two schools shine in different ways. Barr Reeve Elementary is the ILEARN standout and is clearly on the rise: it moved from 4 stars in 2023–24 and 2024–25 to 5 stars in 2025–26, jumping from 178th to 79th of about 1,000 elementary schools (92nd percentile). Its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency was 61.16% in ELA, 69.83% in Math, and 66.67% in Science, all above the district. Barr Reeve Middle/High has been rated 5 stars in each of the last three years, ranking 18th of 415 (96th percentile) in 2025–26, and posts a 100% graduation rate versus 89.7% statewide.

Attendance is exceptional at both schools: chronic absenteeism is 3.6% at the middle/high school and 3.5% at the elementary, compared with 16.7% statewide. SAT results are striking — 11th-grade proficiency of 74.68% in Evidence-based Reading and Writing (state 51.9%) and 55.7% in Math (state 25.6%). At the grade levels the middle/high school serves, 2025–26 scores beat state benchmarks, such as 6th-grade Math at 67.39% versus 40.2%. One pattern to watch is the dip in Math from 5th grade (71.76%) to 7th (53.54%) and 8th (46.38%). The elementary school also has a higher free/reduced-lunch rate (31.36% vs. 26.05%) and lower per-student spending ($11,944 vs. $12,750) yet higher ILEARN proficiency.
