Best Public Schools in Cedar Grove, IN

Summary:

The city of Cedar Grove, Indiana is home to a single standout elementary school, Mount Carmel School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has consistently ranked among the top 15% of elementary schools in the state, earning 4 or 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years.

Mount Carmel School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with student proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments exceeding the Franklin County Community School Corporation and state averages in subjects like Math and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 63.48% of Mount Carmel students were proficient in Math, compared to just 37.65% for the district. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.4%, better than the district average.

While Mount Carmel School stands out for its academic excellence, the school's student population is quite homogeneous, with 98.73% of students identifying as White. This lack of diversity may be an area for the school to explore and address. Additionally, with a spending per student of $12,469 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1, the school appears to have adequate funding and resources to support its students, though addressing attendance issues could be an area of focus.
