Summary

Lake Street Elementary School in Crown Point, Indiana is a K–5 school serving 559 students at 475 Lake St, part of the Crown Point Community School Corp, which ranks 12th of 374 districts statewide. It is a consistent top-decile performer: over the past ten reported years, it never fell below the 89th percentile, and nine of those years were at the 90th percentile or better. In 2025-26, it ranked 58th out of 1,015 schools (94th percentile, 5 stars). Its math program is the standout: all-grades math proficiency is 77.78%, the highest among all nine comparison schools and the highest in its district. Third-grade math (86.02%) and fifth-grade math (79.80%) are both best in the district. Fifth grade overall is the strongest grade band, leading district peers in ELA (75.76%), math (79.80%), and social studies (76.77%).

Solon Robinson Elementary School (0.93 miles away) ranks 42nd statewide and beats Lake Street Elementary School in ELA (68.00% vs. 64.38%) and science (67.68% vs. 60.53%), while the school wins math and social studies. Douglas MacArthur Elementary School also has higher ELA (66.52%). But the school's attendance is a genuine differentiator: chronic absenteeism is 7.0%, compared to 13.2% for the district and 16.7% for Indiana. That is less than half the state rate and second-best in the district behind Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary School (6.8%). Poverty is relatively low: free/reduced lunch is 14.67%, second-lowest in the Crown Point cluster behind Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary School (13.97%). Per-pupil spending is $11,734—the lowest among Crown Point elementaries examined—yet the school posts top math scores, suggesting strong efficiency. Spending has risen 48.5% over three years, and class size improved from 19.5 to 16.8.

The growth opportunities are in 3rd- and 4th-grade English Language Arts and 4th-grade math. Third-grade ELA (61.29%) and 4th-grade ELA (57.02%) both fall below district averages, as does 4th-grade math (69.30%). Science (4th grade, 60.53%) is above district and state but behind Solon Robinson Elementary School and Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary School, and fell from 75.27% the prior year—likely reflecting a different cohort. Overall, Lake Street Elementary School is a stable, top-decile school with exceptional math, a standout fifth grade, and best-in-district attendance, while spending less than its Crown Point peers. Its challenge is shoring up early-to-middle reading and math so that excellence isn't carried mainly by the fifth grade and third-grade math.
