Summary:
East Porter County School Corp is a six-school Indiana district serving 2,275 students across the Valparaiso and Kouts communities, and it ranks #21 of 374 districts statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars). The district has no standalone middle schools and no alternative schools; each community instead pairs a K–5 elementary with a grade 6–12 combined middle/high school, giving three elementary schools and three secondary schools, all modest in size.
Morgan Township Middle/High School is the district's flagship, ranked #11 of 415 Indiana high schools (97th percentile, 5 stars) with the district's best ELA (74.75%), SAT reading/writing (74.24%), SAT math (46.97%), and secondary science (60.81%). Morgan Township Elementary School is the steadiest elementary (87th percentile, three straight years in the 84th–87th range) and leads elementaries in math (66.46%) despite the lowest poverty rate (13.99% FRL) and lowest spending ($8,947). Washington Township Middle/High School ranks 95th percentile with a 100% graduation rate at the district's highest poverty level (29.17% FRL). Washington Township Elementary School leapt from the 53rd to the 74th percentile, and Kouts Elementary School climbed 62nd to 84th. Kouts Middle/High School dropped to the 82nd percentile with the district's lowest ELA (48.34%), though its Biology EOC of 85.71% is the district's best.
Elementary math is a district strength—all three elementaries beat the district math average—while elementary ELA is the soft spot, with all three below the district ELA average and weaknesses in grades 4–5. Only two grade-level ELA results fall below the state. Science slipped about 3 points district-wide, and attendance and graduation are strengths: every school beats the state's 16.7% chronic absenteeism, and the district's 97.8% graduation rate tops the state's 89.7%.
