Summary:

ZIP code 47959 covers Monon, Indiana, and contains just one middle school: North White Middle School, a grades 6–8 school at 305 E Broadway serving 197 students. It is the only middle school in the North White School Corp area in this data, so there are no local peer schools to compare it against; the useful comparisons are to its own district and to Indiana as a whole.

On state rankings, the school sits in the bottom decile: 445th of 486 middle schools in 2025–26 (8th percentile, 0 stars), after 447th of 480 (7th percentile, 0 stars) in 2024–25 and 404th of 491 (18th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–24. The district is also ranked low, 335th of 374 at the 10th percentile with 1 star. ILEARN proficiency trails the state in every reported grade-level test: 6th-grade ELA 21.21% vs. 41.3%, 7th-grade ELA 13.11% vs. 41.7%, 8th-grade ELA 11.94% vs. 44%, 6th-grade math 7.58% vs. 40.2%, 7th-grade math 9.84% vs. 35.9%, 8th-grade math 5.97% vs. 34.2%, and 6th-grade science 13.64% vs. 41.2%. Math is the weakest subject overall at 7.73% all-grades proficiency, well below the district's 19.33%.

Other indicators are worth weighing. Chronic absenteeism was 22.6% in 2024–25, higher than the district's 17.8% and the state's 16.7%. About 82.74% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, the student–teacher ratio was 15.5, and per-student spending was $8,124 (2023–24). All-grade ELA rose from 12.7% to 15.46% and math from 6.35% to 7.73%, while science slipped from 15.87% to 13.64% — modest movement against still-large gaps to state proficiency.
