Summary:

Porter Township School Corp is a four-school district in Indiana serving about 1,509 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, with two elementary buildings, one middle school, and one high school. The district is ranked 52nd out of 374 in Indiana, placing it in the 86th percentile with a 4-star district rating. Enrollment is distributed across Porter Lakes Elementary School (PK–3, 552 students), Boone Grove High School (9–12, 467), Boone Grove Middle School (6–8, 292), and Boone Grove Elementary School (4–5, 198). The elementary years are split across two buildings, with the youngest students at Porter Lakes and grades 4–5 at Boone Grove Elementary.

Porter Lakes Elementary is the academic standout, especially in math: its 2025–2026 math proficiency was 72.83% against the state 3rd-grade figure of 51.9%, and its ELA proficiency was 58.7% versus 40.8% statewide. It also has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 6.0%, despite the highest student-teacher ratio (19.7) and lowest per-pupil spending ($9,884). Boone Grove High reports a 97.7% graduation rate, well above the state's 89.7%, and its rank improved to 4 stars and the 80th percentile, though its SAT results swung widely between years. Boone Grove Middle improved to 83rd percentile and 4 stars, with 7th- and 8th-grade ELA roughly 22–23 percentage points above state and science at 53.64% versus 41.2%.

Attendance is a district-wide strength: every school is below the state chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7%, and the district average is 8.2%. Boone Grove Middle has the highest rate in the district at 11.2%, still below state. Boone Grove Elementary is more mixed—relatively strong in math, science, and social studies, but ELA sits at 43.22% against a district figure of 53.3%, and its rank declined to 69th percentile with 3 stars. Free/reduced lunch percentages cluster narrowly between about 26.8% and 32.4%, and Porter Lakes has both the highest free/reduced lunch share and the strongest math results, so that measure alone does not explain outcomes.
