Four schools in Monroe County were ranked in the top 10 in Indiana by U.S. News and World Report.

The annual ranking is based on students’ test scores in math and reading from state-required assessments. It also considers a school’s socioeconomic and ethnic diversity. The list includes public and charter elementary and middle schools.

For public schools, Bloomington’s Childs Elementary School ranked ninth and Jackson Creek Middle School ranked eighth.

For charter schools, Seven Oaks Classical School in Ellettsville ranked second in Best Charter Elementary School and fourth in Best Charter Middle School.

Bloomington Project School ranked fifth in Best Charter Elementary School and first in Best Charter Middle School.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
