That is Boone Grove's highest percentile since 2015–2016, a strong rebound from 2021–2022, when it placed 270th of 409 (2 stars).

The school's non-test results are its clearest strengths. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.7%, well above Indiana's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism was just 9.9%, compared with 16.7% statewide — lower than every nearby school except Morgan (8.0%) and Wheeler (9.2%). Boone Grove also serves several student groups well: Hispanic students rank in the 83rd percentile statewide, low-income students in the 78th, and female students in the 80th. Male students climbed from the 49th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 74th. Special education students rank near the middle (58th percentile, 3 stars), the one relative gap. Classes are small at 12.9 students per teacher, and per-student spending is high at $13,266.

Test scores are more mixed and volatile. In 2025–2026, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 51.89% — essentially the state average of 51.9% — while SAT math was 23.58%, below the state's 25.6%. Biology ILEARN was 68.63%, ahead of Crown Point, Hobart, Valparaiso, and Hebron, but behind Kouts, Wheeler, Morgan, and Washington. Year over year, SAT reading fell from 70.97% to 51.89% and SAT math from 35.48% to 23.58%, while biology jumped from 32.73% to 68.63%. Overall, Boone Grove is a 4-star, above-state-average school with strong graduation and attendance results and test performance that families should watch.
