Summary

Indian Trail Elementary School in La Porte, IN, is a PK–4 school serving 246 students in the La Porte Community School Corp, a district ranked 197th of 374 Indiana districts (47th percentile, 2 stars). In 2025–26, Indian Trail Elementary School ranked 566th of 1,015 elementary schools (44th percentile, 2 stars). Its history is notable: it was a 5-star school in 2015–16 and 2016–17, ranking in the 93rd–96th percentile, then fell to 1 star and the 27th percentile in 2022–23. It has since recovered partially to 2 stars and the 44th percentile.

Indian Trail is small — 246 students, fewer than most neighbors except Kingsford Heights Elementary School (150) — and its 12.3 student-teacher ratio is the second-lowest nearby, well below F Willard Crichfield Elementary (17.6), Riley Elementary School (18.1), and Rolling Prairie Elementary School (17.2). It also spends more per student ($11,470 in 2023–24) than most peers, though Kingsford Heights ($13,506) spends more. Math is the relative bright spot: 51.58% proficiency, above the district's 49.14%, up from 34.65% in 2022–23. ELA (35.79%) trails the district's 40.63%, despite rising from 21.78% in 2022–23. Science is the clearest weakness: 29.27%, far below the district's 44.97% and the lowest among same-district peers and nearby schools such as F Willard Crichfield (68.75%), Walkerton Elementary School (60.25%), North Liberty School (58.62%), and Rolling Prairie (54.29%). Notably, Crichfield spends less and has larger classes yet posts much higher scores, so resources alone do not explain the pattern.

Chronic absenteeism is 15.1%, better than the district (18.5%) and state (16.7%) but higher than F Willard Crichfield (7.4%), Riley (10.4%), Kingsford Heights (10.3%), North Liberty (8.9%), Walkerton (9.9%), and Rolling Prairie (7.0%) — attendance may still be a useful lever. The free/reduced lunch rate fell sharply, from 64.43% in 2022–23 to 61.62% to 43.9% in 2024–25, which complicates year-to-year comparisons. Overall, Indian Trail is a small, relatively well-funded school with low class sizes and improving math and ELA, but science remains far behind.
