Best Public Schools in Boone Grove, IN

Summary:

The city of Boone Grove, Indiana is home to two schools - Boone Grove Middle School and Boone Grove Elementary School, both part of the Porter Township School Corp district. While the elementary school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating and stronger academic performance, the middle school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and mixed results on standardized tests.

Boone Grove Middle School has 301 students and has seen its statewide ranking range from 175th to 247th out of 489-490 Indiana middle schools. Its ILEARN test scores are mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%. In contrast, Boone Grove Elementary School has 198 students and has consistently ranked between 258th and 435th out of 1,016-1,020 Indiana elementary schools, with generally stronger ILEARN scores than the middle school and a similar chronic absenteeism rate.

Both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with the elementary school at 28.28% and the middle school at 20.93%. The middle school spends more per student ($11,545) compared to the elementary school ($10,370), and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 15.8. However, these resource differences do not appear to be the primary factor driving the performance gap between the two schools, suggesting the need for further investigation into curriculum, teaching quality, and student engagement at the middle school level.
