Summary:

The Lake Ridge New Technical Schools district in Indiana contains only one elementary school, Longfellow New Technical Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Indiana elementary schools over the past 3 years, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to state averages.

Strategies to improve teaching quality, provide additional resources and support for students, and address the unique challenges faced by the school's low-income population may be necessary to help the school achieve better academic results and better serve the needs of its students.
