Ladoga Elementary performs well above average statewide. It ranked 148th of 1,015 Indiana schools in 2025–2026 (85th percentile, 4 stars), 96th of 1,005 in 2024–2025 (90th percentile, 5 stars), and 107th of 1,011 in 2023–2024 (89th percentile, 4 stars). Within its district it ranks 64th of 374 (83rd percentile, 4 stars). Math is a clear strength: all-grade math proficiency was 72.22% versus 56.52% for the district, and 5th-grade math reached 80.77%, well above the state's 42%. The 5th-grade cohort scored 80.77% proficient in ELA, math, and social studies — each far above district and state results. Chronic absenteeism was 11.7%, lower than both the district (13.3%) and the state (16.7%).
A few areas deserve attention. Third grade was the relative weak spot: ELA was 41.94%, below the district's 48.95% but still above the state's 40.8%, and third-grade math was 64.52%, below the district but above the state. Science results were uneven — all-grade science was 87.5% in 2024–2025 but 46.67% in 2025–2026, though 4th-grade science (46.67%) was above both district (43.97%) and state (43.8%). With only 182 students, year-to-year swings can be large. About 50.55% of students qualified for free/reduced-price lunch, the student-teacher ratio was 20.9, and per-student spending was $13,476 in 2023–2024.
