Summary

Options New Vistas High School in Portage, Indiana, is a grades 9–12 charter school in the Options Charter Schools district with a reported enrollment of 0, which appears to be a data-reporting issue rather than a literal count. Its latest state ranking is 359th of 415 Indiana high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 13th percentile with a 1-star rating. The district is ranked 336th of 374 districts, also 1 star and the 10th percentile.

Academically, 11th-grade SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency is 30.77%—below the district's 34.02% and the state's 51.9%. SAT Math proficiency is 0%, which is 5.15 points below the district and 25.6 points below the state. This math result is lower than every nearby school listed: Gary Middle College (3.13%), Thomas A Edison Junior-Senior High School (3.53%), River Forest High School (4.96%), Merrillville High School (11.11%), Portage High School (18.26%), Hobart High School (19.18%), Wheeler High School (28.41%), and Chesterton Senior High School (43.07%). The school's reading-math gap of 30.77 points is larger than the district's 28.87-point gap and the state's 26.3-point gap. Compared with Portage High School, just 2.41 miles away, Options trails by about 14.88 points in reading/writing and 18.26 points in math.

Options sits in the bottom tier of local schools, but not the absolute lowest: Gary Middle College ranks lower (3rd percentile, 0 stars), and Edison is essentially in the same band (13th percentile, 1 star). Missing data on free/reduced lunch, student-teacher ratio, graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, and per-student spending prevent a fuller picture of whether low scores are paired with high poverty, low attendance, or resource differences. The 0 enrollment figure and missing context metrics mean the test scores should be read as reported indicators, not a complete diagnosis. Still, the 0% math proficiency is the school's clearest academic weak point and a serious signal, especially if the tested cohort is meaningful.
