Q: Is Barr Reeve Elementary School a good school?

Barr Reeve Elementary School ranks 112 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Barr Reeve Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Montgomery, Indiana, serving 526 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Barr-Reeve Community Schools district, which is ranked 12th out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barr Reeve Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 10-15% of Indiana elementary schools, with a current ranking of 112 out of 1,010 schools. The school's ILEARN test scores are significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in Math (71.48%) and English Language Arts (52.71%) that are well above the state averages of 52.4% and 38.6%, respectively. This high academic performance is reflected in the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students consistently outperforming their peers statewide in both Math and English Language Arts.

While Barr Reeve Elementary School's academic achievements are impressive, the school's student population is predominantly White, with over 95% of students identifying as such. This lack of racial diversity is in contrast to the higher percentages of minority students at nearby schools like Jasper Elementary School and Petersburg Elementary School. Additionally, Barr Reeve Elementary School serves a more affluent student population, with only 29.28% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the state average and nearby schools that range from 43.81% to 67.84%. This socioeconomic advantage may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but it also raises questions about the accessibility and equity of educational opportunities for students from lower-income families in the area.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
