Summary:
Crown Point, Indiana is served by 10 schools — six elementary, two middle, one high school, and one alternative K–12 school — enrolling about 8,768 students, with nine of them belonging to the Crown Point Community School Corp, which ranks 12th of 374 Indiana districts (97th percentile, 5 stars). The exception is Eagle Park Community School, an 87-student alternative and special education cooperative school with no district rank that should not be compared directly to the comprehensive Crown Point schools.
All nine district schools rank at or above the 81st percentile statewide and six hold 5 stars, but they differ in meaningful ways. Jerry Ross Elementary School is the strongest elementary (27th of 1,015, 97th percentile), with ELA at 71.67% and math at 78.41%; Solon Robinson Elementary School (68% ELA, 74.55% math) and Lake Street Elementary School (77.78% math) are close behind. Robert Taft Middle School leads middle schools with 66.64% ELA versus 56.99% at Colonel John Wheeler Middle School. Crown Point High School posts a 99.1% graduation rate, with SAT ERW at 68.47% and math at 43.8%, far above state figures.
Chronic absenteeism splits the district: elementary schools range from 6.8% at Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary School to 9.1% at Jerry Ross, while Crown Point High is 18.0%, above the state's 16.7%. Poverty and spending do not track simply with results: Timothy Ball Elementary School has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (33.7%) and the highest spending ($12,106) but the lowest elementary ELA (53.07%), while Jerry Ross spends least ($11,007) and scores highest. Most schools have climbed in state rank over three years. Eagle Park's 50.5% absenteeism, 13.33% ELA, and exact 0% math reflect its alternative mission, and its suppressed science score is unknown, not zero.
