Summary

Boone Grove Elementary School is a small, two-grade school in Boone Grove, Indiana — in Porter Township, in the northwest part of the state — serving 198 students in grades 4 and 5 only (about 99 per grade), and it is one of just two elementary buildings in Porter Township School Corp, alongside Porter Lakes Elementary School (PK–3) about five miles away. It currently ranks 310th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (69th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025–26, following four-star years from 2022–23 through 2024–25 and a peak of 199th of 1,011 (80th percentile) in 2023–24.

Against nearby schools, Boone Grove sits near the bottom on raw proficiency even though it clears state benchmarks in five of six grade-level tests. Its 43.2% ELA and 54.8% math are the second-lowest among Memorial Elementary School, Union Center Elementary School, Heavilin Elementary School, Central Elementary School, Jerry Ross Elementary School, Morgan Township Elementary School, Kouts Elementary School, Winfield Elementary School and Hebron Elementary School — roughly 21 points below the nearby-school average in ELA. The lone exception is 4th-grade ELA (39.5 vs. the state's 42.2), while 5th-grade ELA, both math grades, science and social studies outpace state rates. Attendance is a real strength: 6.5% chronic absenteeism is less than half the state rate (16.7%). Resources are mid-pack — 26.8% free/reduced lunch, $10,370 per student, 17.2 students per teacher — while Porter Lakes Elementary School posts higher proficiency (58.7 ELA, 72.8 math).

The school climbed from the 54th percentile in 2018–19 to the 80th in 2023–24, then slipped to the 77th and now the 69th, giving back 6–8 points of proficiency in both ELA and math. Grade 4 ELA is the clearest soft spot. Chronic absenteeism spiked to 19.3% in 2022–23 and has since fallen to 6.5%, and free/reduced lunch dropped 11.5 points in two years. With only about 99 students per grade, single-year figures are noisy, so these trends are worth watching rather than over-reading.
