Summary:
ZIP 46307 — Crown Point, Indiana — is home to 10 schools serving students in grades K–12: six elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and one alternative special-education school, enrolling roughly 8,768 students combined. Nine of the ten belong to Crown Point Community School Corp, itself ranked #12 of 374 Indiana districts (97th percentile, 5 stars), while Eagle Park Community School operates within the NW Indiana Special Education Coop. Crown Point High School alone accounts for about 35% of the ZIP's students.
Jerry Ross Elementary School leads the ZIP — #27 of 1,015 elementary schools (97th percentile) with the highest ELA (71.67%), math (78.41%), and science (68.35%) results, despite the district's lowest per-student spending ($11,007). Robert Taft Middle School is the top middle school at #27 of 486. Crown Point High School posts a 99.1% graduation rate, with SAT reading at 68.47% versus 51.9% state and SAT math at 43.8% versus 25.6%. At the other end, Timothy Ball Elementary School has the highest poverty rate (33.7% free/reduced lunch), the lowest ELA (53.07%), the smallest classes (16.2:1), and the highest spending ($12,106) — yet still beats the state in every subject.
All nine Crown Point schools improved their state rank over three years, and every elementary beats the state in every tested subject at every grade level. Watch three patterns: chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level (elementary 6.8–13.3%, high school 18.0%), math and science soften in the middle grades, and elementary proficiency slides from 3rd to 5th grade in nearly every building. Eagle Park Community School shows 50.5% absenteeism and a 10.8:1 ratio, with no ranking history and no school-level science value reported — figures that reflect its special-education population rather than school quality.
