Summary

Kingsbury Elementary School is a PK–4 school in La Porte, Indiana, serving 294 students as part of the La Porte Community School Corp, a district that ranks 197th of 374 in Indiana. In 2025-26, Kingsbury Elementary School ranked 346th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (66th percentile, 3 stars), up from 61st percentile in 2024-25 and 57th in 2023-24, though still below its 2018-19 peak of 76th percentile. Its free/reduced lunch rate fell to 32.65% in 2024-25 from 44.82% in 2022-23, and its student-teacher ratio is 17.2. Per-student spending was $10,574 in 2023-24.

Math is the school's standout: all-grades math proficiency is 62.18%, well above the district's 49.14%, with 3rd grade at 64.41% and 4th grade at 60%. ELA proficiency is 48.74%, also above the district's 40.63%. Among district peers, only F Willard Crichfield Elementary scores higher in ELA, and both Crichfield and Handley Elementary School top Kingsbury in math. Kingsbury outperforms Hailmann Elementary School, Riley Elementary School, Indian Trail Elementary School, and Kingsford Heights Elementary School, and beats Renaissance Academy Charter School and Westville Elementary School in both subjects, while South Central Elementary School is slightly higher in each.

Science is the clearest weakness at 33.9%, below the district's 44.97% and the state 4th-grade average of 43.8%. Only Indian Trail is lower among district peers, and even Westville, which has lower ELA and math, scores slightly higher in science. Chronic absenteeism has more than doubled from 8.3% in 2021-22 to 17.4% in 2024-25, above the state average and higher than every district peer, including Crichfield's 7.4%. Fourth grade (45% ELA, 33.9% science) trails 3rd grade (52.54% ELA, 64.41% math). Spending and class size have improved, but science and attendance remain areas to watch.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 28, 2018

Teachers/Staff creat cult-like groups to dominate their grade. They give these kids power and control and allow them to bully other students not in the gang. Maybe politically organized. They don’t like students that are not fitting into their idea of a perfect student. Many parent witnesses this strange behavior. Investigation were done but ultimently was dismissed as this is how they do things. Also if your child is reporting anyone of these ‘special kids’ for bullying, they will find a way to punish them to creat a record. Close Quote
