Summary:
ZIP code 46346 contains just one public school: Kingsford Heights Elementary School, an elementary serving grades PK–4 with about 150 students at 460 Evanston Rd in Kingsford Heights, part of La Porte Community School Corp. The area has no middle or high schools in this data set, so families will need to look outside the ZIP for those grades. The district ranks 197 of 374, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars.
Attendance is the clearest strength: in 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 10.3%, below the district's 18.5% and the state's 16.7%. Fourth grade results in 2025–2026 were above both district and state in English Language Arts (47.83% proficient, vs 42.26% district and 42.2% state) and Math (65.22%, vs 61.06% district and 52.0% state). The 2024–2025 year overall was a high point: the school ranked 89th of 1,005, in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, and its all-grade proficiency beat district averages by 18.11 points in ELA, 32.76 points in Math, and 14.73 points in Science.
That advantage reversed in 2025–2026, when the school fell to 570th of 1,015, the 44th percentile, with 2 stars — a drop of 481 rank positions and 3 stars in a year. All-grade proficiency is now below district in ELA (32.69% vs 40.63%), Math (44.23% vs 49.14%), and Science (43.48% vs 44.97%); state comparisons for these all-grade figures were not provided. Third grade is the main weak spot: ELA 20.69% (district 43.09%, state 40.8%) and Math 27.59% (district 58.06%, state 51.9%). Year over year, all-grade ELA fell 25.64 points, Math 37.02 points, and Science 19.48 points. About 53.33% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,506, and the student-teacher ratio is 12:1, though these score comparisons may reflect different student cohorts.
