Summary

Kouts Middle/High School is a small combined 6–12 school in Kouts, Indiana (Porter County), serving 381 students in the East Porter County School Corp, with about 54 students per grade.

For 2025–26, it ranks 73rd of 415 Indiana high schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars), a typical result for a school that has earned 4 stars in nine of the past ten reported years. Its district ranks 21st of 374 districts statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars), but the school is the lowest-ranked of the district’s three schools: Morgan Township Middle/High School and Washington Township Middle/High School both rank in the top 5% with 5 stars. The school still beats the state on graduation (95.5% vs. 89.7%) and chronic absenteeism (15.0% vs. 16.7%), though both trail most nearby schools. Its standout strength is Biology end-of-course: 85.71% proficiency, the best in the local comparison group and above the district’s 76.44%, roughly double Valparaiso High School and Kankakee Valley High School. Grades 6 and 7 math also exceed district and state averages.

The weak spots are at the high school exit level. SAT Math is 19.57%, below Indiana’s 25.6% and 8th of 11 nearby schools, while SAT reading/writing has fallen from 78.13% in 2023–24 to 52.17%, now behind the district. Grade 6 ELA is 35.59%, more than 22 points below district and nearly 6 below state. Middle-grade math looks stronger than high school measures, suggesting a transition issue rather than a broad teaching problem. The 2023–24 spike to 25th statewide was an outlier, not a new normal. Parents should see a stable, above-average school with real science and middle-math strengths, but also a clear need to monitor high school SAT and reading/writing readiness.
