North Montgomery High School

Summary:

North Montgomery High School is a public high school serving 516 students in grades 9-12 in Crawfordsville, Indiana, which is part of the Crawfordsville Community Schools district.

North Montgomery High School stands out for its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.2% to 97.4% over the past 5 years, outperforming the state average. However, the school faces challenges in math proficiency, with only 32.28% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 55.12% in reading and writing. Additionally, North Montgomery has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.0% to 19.8% over the past 3 years, which is higher than nearby schools like Western Boone Junior-Senior High School and Southmont Senior High School, which outperform North Montgomery in overall academic performance.

While North Montgomery High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.57%) compared to the surrounding schools, it performs well for certain student subgroups, such as female students and white students, ranking in the top 100 Indiana high schools for these groups. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students is less impressive, ranking in the middle to lower range. The school's consistent performance over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 79 and 209 out of 431 Indiana high schools, and its SchoolDigger star rating ranging from 2 to 4 stars, suggests that there is room for improvement, particularly in addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and boosting math proficiency.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
