Summary:
Linton-Stockton School Corporation serves about 1,393 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–5), one middle school (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — in and around Linton, Indiana. As a district, it ranks 121st of 374 Indiana school corporations, placing it in the 68th percentile with 3 stars, but that average hides sharp differences among its buildings. Linton-Stockton Elementary alone enrolls 725 students, or 52% of the district — more than the middle and high school combined (668).
Linton-Stockton Elementary is the most consistent performer, earning 4 stars in each of the last three years and ranking between the 72nd and 75th percentiles. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism (8.5%, versus 11.9% districtwide and 16.7% statewide) and math proficiency of 58.5% — despite the highest free/reduced lunch rate (51.45%) and largest classes (19.9 students per teacher). Linton-Stockton Middle School is the most improved, climbing from the 59th percentile in 2023–24 to the 81st percentile and 4 stars in 2025–26, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.9) and 10.2% absenteeism. Science is a bright spot at both: elementary science rose 15.75 points year over year and middle science 17.95 points.
Linton-Stockton High School is the district's weakest link: 296th of 415 schools in 2025–26 (29th percentile, 1 star), chronic absenteeism of 20.3% — more than double the elementary rate and above the state's 16.7% — and the highest per-student spending at $11,804. Only 11.11% of 11th graders met SAT Math proficiency and 40% met SAT EBRW, far below state, yet 98.7% graduate, above the state's 89.7%. Math weakens as students move up: elementary math is strong, middle math drops to 42.18% (8th grade just 27.88%, under the state's 34.2%), and high school SAT Math is less than half the state rate.
