Among the standout schools in the district, North Dearborn Elementary School is the highest-ranked, coming in at 63 out of 1,010 elementary schools in Indiana and earning a rare 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly outperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, with 71.47% of students proficient or better in math.

While the district overall appears to be performing well, there are some areas of concern. There is a significant gap in ILEARN proficiency rates between the top-performing elementary school, North Dearborn, and the lowest-performing one, Sunman Elementary, with a difference of over 20 percentage points in both English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, the middle and high schools in the district have higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the elementary schools, a common trend seen in many school systems.
