Summary:
ZIP code 47558 covers Montgomery, Indiana, and contains just one high school: Barr Reeve Middle/High School, a grades 6–12 campus with 522 students in the Barr-Reeve Community Schools Inc district. Because it is the only school here, the most useful comparisons are to its own prior years, to its district, and to Indiana averages. The school has a 14.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, 26.05% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending of $12,750 in 2023–2024.
This is a consistently top-performing Indiana school. It ranked 18th of 415 in 2025–2026, 20th of 429 in 2024–2025, and 8th of 432 in 2023–2024 — the 95th to 98th percentile every year, with 5 stars each time. Its district ranks 15th of 374 statewide, in the 96th percentile. Outcomes back that up: a 100% graduation rate in 2024–2025 versus 89.7% statewide, and chronic absenteeism of just 3.6% versus 16.7% across Indiana. SAT results are a standout — 11th-grade Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 74.68 versus 51.9 statewide, and SAT Math at 55.7 versus 25.6. Middle-grade math is similarly strong: 6th grade at 67.39 versus 40.2 statewide, 7th at 53.54 versus 35.9, and 8th at 46.38 versus 34.2. English language arts also beats the state in grades 6–8, though by narrower margins.
A few things are worth monitoring. All-grade ILEARN results trail district figures — ELA at 46.54 versus 53.59, math at 56.54 versus 62.95, and science at 47.83 versus 56.65 — even though the reported grade-level scores match the district and exceed the state. Biology End-of-Course fell from 69.12 to 62.67, still well above the state's 45.6. Most other trends are positive: all-grade ELA rose from 41.6 to 46.54, math from 52.94 to 56.54, and science from 39.13 to 47.83.
