Summary

Lake Village Elementary School is a small K–6 school in Lake Village, Indiana, enrolling 158 students as part of the North Newton School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranks 553rd of 1,015 Indiana schools (46th percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranks 220th of 374. The school's standing has slipped over time: its rank percentile was 72nd in 2018–2019, drifted into the 45th–56th range for several years, and now sits at 46th. Per-student spending was $11,962 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio is 15:1.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest warning sign. The rate rose from 5.9% in 2020–2021 to 22.6% in 2024–2025 — above the district's 18.5% and the state's 16.7%, and higher than nearly every nearby school. Academically, all-grade proficiency in 2025–2026 was 33.67% in English Language Arts, 35.71% in Math, and 46% in Science. Those scores beat district averages but trail the state, and both ELA and Math have declined since 2022–2023. Results vary by grade: 5th-grade Social Studies (54.55%) and 6th-grade ELA (50%) are bright spots, and 4th-grade Science (46.88%) is solid, while 3rd grade is the weak spot — just 19.23% in ELA and 26.92% in Math, far below district and state.

Compared with neighbors, Lake Village sits in the middle of its own district, ahead of Lincoln Elementary School in all-grade ELA, Math, and Science and roughly even with Morocco Elementary School — though Morocco has much lower absenteeism (10.3%). Outside the district, schools such as Douglas MacArthur Elementary School, Kankakee Valley Intermediate School, Red Cedars Elementary School, and Lake Prairie Elementary School post far higher proficiency and 4- or 5-star ratings. About 48.73% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, lower than Morocco (62.07%) and Lincoln (64.34%), and DeMotte Elementary School outperforms Lake Village despite similar poverty. With relatively high spending and small classes, the most urgent priorities appear to be attendance intervention and early-grade reading and math support.
