Summary:

ZIP code 46368 is home to 9 public schools — six elementary schools serving K–5, two middle schools serving 6–8, and one high school serving 9–12 — all part of Portage Township Schools and enrolling about 5,934 students in the Portage, Indiana area. The district overall ranks 260th of 374 Indiana districts (30th percentile) with a 2-star rating, but individual schools differ sharply from one another.

The strongest options are George L Myers Elementary School (478th of 1,015, 53rd percentile, 3 stars), which has the best elementary ELA proficiency at 49.39%, and Crisman Elementary School (509th of 1,015, 50th percentile, 3 stars), where 5th-grade ELA reaches 64.81%. Ethel R Jones Elementary School posts the ZIP's highest math proficiency at 47.56% but slipped to 2 stars. Rowena Kyle Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism (13.0%) and lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (35.01%), yet ranks only 38th percentile with weak 5th-grade math. At the other end, Central Elementary School and Wallace Aylesworth Elementary are the only 1-star schools, at 22nd and 21st percentile.

Two patterns stand out. Chronic absenteeism generally tracks with performance: the lowest-absenteeism schools rank higher, while Portage High School (27.3%) and William Fegely Middle School (23.7%) have the highest rates. Science is a system-wide weak spot, with nearly every elementary school below the state's 4th-grade science figure. Both Willowcreek Middle School (80%) and Fegely (76.92%) show unusually high Biology proficiency against the district's 35.47%, likely reflecting a specific advanced cohort rather than broad performance. Portage High has a strong 94.4% graduation rate but below-state SAT scores. George L Myers (31st → 42nd → 53rd percentile), Crisman, and Portage High show the clearest three-year improvement.
