Boone Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Boone Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Boone Grove, Indiana, with a student population of 191 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Porter Township School Corporation, which is ranked 60 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boone Grove Elementary consistently outperforms the Porter Township School Corporation and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 62.63% of Boone Grove students were proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to 49.74% for the district and 48-52.4% statewide. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.0% in 2020-2021 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Boone Grove Elementary has increased from 29.8% in 2020-2021 to 38.22% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, Boone Grove Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics. For instance, in 2023-2024, Boone Grove's 62.63% proficiency rate in ILEARN Math was significantly higher than the 49.74% rate for the Porter Township School Corporation and the 48-52.4% state averages. However, Boone Grove's high chronic absenteeism rate is a concern, as nearby schools like Union Center Elementary and Morgan Township Elementary have much lower rates of 3.1% and 4.9%, respectively. Additionally, Boone Grove Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, with White students making up 78-82% of the student body over the past three years, in contrast to some of the more diverse nearby schools.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
