The district is ranked 76th of 374 Indiana districts—the 80th percentile—with 4 stars. Families here have one elementary school for K–4, one middle school for 5–8, and one high school for 9–12, so students move through a single, relatively small district.
At the elementary level, Loogootee Elementary School is the strongest math and science performer. Its 2025–26 all-grades math proficiency is 64.55% and science is 72.55%, both above district averages, while 4th-grade science reaches 72.55% versus the state’s 43.8%. ELA is the relative soft spot at 46.36% all grades, though grade-level ELA in 3rd and 4th grades still beats the state. Loogootee Middle School stands out for attendance and ELA: chronic absenteeism is 9.5%, the lowest in the district, and all-grades ELA is 53.71%. Its 6th-grade ELA is 63.46% and 5th-grade math is 67.27%, though middle-school math falls from 67.27% in 5th grade to 33.93% in 8th grade.

Overall, attendance is a district strength: elementary and middle chronic absenteeism are around 9.5–9.8%, and even the high school’s 13.0% is below the state’s 16.7%. Spending does not line up neatly with outcomes—the high school spends the most per student at $13,104, while the middle school spends the least at $9,905 yet remains 4 stars. For parents, the elementary and middle schools match the district’s strong 4-star profile, while the high school is the key area to watch in future years.
