2020 Best School Districts in Porter CountyAbout this List

Duneland School Corporation

• School District
• Chesterton, IN
• 13 reviews

Sophomore: Duneland has served me very well- the teachers seem supported, and genuinely care about the well being and progress of the students. Affectionately, I deem the school a load of nerds, because Duneland is very academically oriented and we have very strong theater, arts and debate programs. Chesterton (where the school is located) is a nice, sleepy town, and therefore presents very few issues in terms of disruption during the school day, and danger in the surrounding area. The thing I would change is that there is little social awareness within Chesterton High School as to how amazingly small the percentage of people of color is within our schools. There is rampant ignorant hate speech among those who are privileged enough to not feel the effect of those words. But such is life. I just wish the administration would address that a little bit more.

East Porter County School Corporation

• School District
• Kouts, IN
• 3 reviews

Alum: The EPCSC was wonderful all seven years I was a student in the corporation. I had transferred from a larger corporation/school, and the atmosphere that the EPCSC provided compared to the larger school's was unparalleled. It truly is a beautiful community with fantastic staff and students that fill the hallways of each respective school. The school system takes action immediately if they feel they must step in on a situation, and they handle things very seriously while having a good sense of compassion at the same time. If I ever get the chance to recommend the school to friends or family I take that chance in a heartbeat, you can not beat the genuine kindness of this school system and its employees.

Valparaiso Community Schools

• School District
• Valparaiso, IN
• 38 reviews

Senior: Valparaiso High School has a very rigorous curriculum with many honors, upper level, and AP classes offered. The majority of students who attend Valparaiso High School go on to college, therefore they are very prepared once they graduate. For those who do not attend college, Valparaiso High School offers other options to help their students to be successful by offering classes at a local Career and Technical Center. Here students can learn technical skills and/or apply for apprenticeship programs. There are many different ways to be involved at Valparaiso High School. There are numerous sports, clubs, and activities to choose from, as well as music, drama, speech and debate, to name a few. The administration is very open to work with students and their ideas to make Valparaiso the best it can be.

Alum: Porter Township Schools are an excellent school corporation. The teachers are very compassionate and are easy to work with. They are always looking out for the best interest of their students. It is a close-knit community where everyone looks out for everyone. As a an alumni, my husband and I decided to send our child to this school system. Our son graduated last year and we couldn't have been more happy with his success as well. Kudos to the administration, staff, and support staff. Keep up the terrific work!!

Portage Township Schools

• School District
• Portage, IN
• 38 reviews

Alum: I think overall portage township schools are very good. They are very aware of safety and take many precautions to prevent anything from happening. But there are also a few things that I would change such as the food, the food is not very good or healthy! I think there could be menu changes and rules set in place to help portage with the issue. Also the actions they tale against bullying I think should be better handled! There is little to almost nothing done when bullying is happening and I think that should be changed not only in the portage school system but every school system!
