Summary

LaPorte High School is a public alternative school serving grades PK-12 in La Porte, Indiana, with an enrollment of 1,851 students. The school is part of the LaPorte Community School Corporation, which is ranked 121 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

LaPorte High School has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 84.0% in 2022-2023 to 90.7% in 2023-2024, which is now above the district average. However, the school has experienced a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.8% to 26.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the district average. The school's test scores show a mixed performance compared to the district and state averages, performing better in some subjects, such as Evidence-based Reading and Writing on the SAT, but lagging behind in others, such as Mathematics on the SAT and Biology on the ILEARN/End of Course exams.

Compared to the nearby Trojan Virtual Academy, a public virtual school in the Duneland School Corporation, LaPorte High School has higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better test scores in most subjects. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.34% to 56.24% over the past few years, suggests a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which should be considered when analyzing the school's performance and developing strategies to support student success.
