Summary

Kouts Elementary School is a K–5 school in Kouts, Indiana, serving 323 students as part of the East Porter County School Corp, a highly ranked district that places 21st of 374 in Indiana with 5 stars.

The school ranks 161st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — an 84th-percentile, 4-star finish and a sharp rebound from the 62nd–69th percentile range of 2022–2024. Test scores support that recovery: ELA climbed from 37.95% in 2022–2023 to 54.14% in 2025–2026, and math from 54.82% to 65.61%. Math and science are the anchors — both beat the district average, and math is above district and state in every tested grade, led by 3rd-grade math at 76.19%. ELA (54.14%) is the weak spot, 6.65 points below the district, with grades 3 and 5 trailing the district while grade 4 ELA leads it. Chronic absenteeism dropped to 7.9% in 2024–2025 from 15.0%, below the district (8.7%) and state (16.7%), and the student–teacher ratio improved to 13.4 from 16.3. Per-student spending was $10,071 in 2023–2024.

Against nearby schools, Kouts sits mid-pack. It trails same-district Morgan Township Elementary School in ELA (54.14% vs. 62.11%) and social studies while matching it in math and edging it in science. Central Elementary School, Parkview Elementary School, Memorial Elementary School and Heavilin Elementary School post higher ELA and math, and its 13.4 student–teacher ratio is lower than Morgan Township, Heavilin, Kankakee Valley Intermediate School, Hebron Elementary School, Boone Grove Elementary School and Memorial. Overall, Kouts is a solidly above-average school in a very strong district, with math, science, attendance and class size as strengths and ELA — especially grades 3 and 5 — as the clearest area for growth.
