Summary:
In zip code 47933, there are three middle schools serving students in grades 6-8: Crawfordsville Middle School, North Montgomery Middle School, and Southmont Junior High School. These schools are part of the Crawfordsville Community Schools, North Montgomery Com School Corp, and South Montgomery Com School Corp districts, respectively.
Southmont Junior High School is the standout performer among the three, consistently achieving the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For the 2024-2025 school year, it reported 55.26% proficiency in English/ELA, 54.21% in Math, and 55.2% in Science, significantly exceeding the other schools. This strong academic performance is further supported by its excellent SchoolDigger ranking, placing 50th out of 380 Indiana middle schools with a 4-star rating. North Montgomery Middle School also performs well, particularly in Math, with a 41.69% proficiency rate in the 2024-2025 school year and a 4-star rating, ranking 101st in the state. Crawfordsville Middle School, while having the highest spending per student at $11,898, shows the lowest proficiency rates across all subjects, with 34.77% in English/ELA and 30.38% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year, and a 3-star rating, ranking 173rd in the state.
A notable observation is that all three schools in zip code 47933 share the same chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a common challenge that may require broader attention. There also appears to be a trend where schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates, like Southmont Junior High School (39.24%), tend to have higher academic proficiency, while schools with higher rates, such as Crawfordsville Middle School (61.36%), show lower proficiency. The district performance also aligns with these trends, with the South Montgomery Com School Corp ranking highest, followed by North Montgomery Com School Corp, and then Crawfordsville Community Schools.
