District lines don't always follow town lines. Before you buy, confirm the assigned school for the exact address with the district. Facts, never rankings.
Lots, spec homes and to-be-built plans change week to week. Text (219) 440-2828 or send the form and I'll reply the same day with what's for sale in Portage, checked against the school line.
