LES was classified as a STEM Certified School by the Indiana Department of Education in 2021.  LES prioritizes the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and math disciplines and exemplify a highly non-traditional approach to education by employing a great deal of inquiry, project-based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student-centered classrooms, and out-of-school STEM activities.

Loogootee Elementary offers a robust Pre-K program to students ages 4-5. This program provides opportunities for socialization, hands-on, and multisensory activities, as well as a math and reading curriculum that allow for a smooth transition to Kindergarten.

LES offers four different PLTW modules each school year at each grade level. The modules include content from computer science, biomedical, and engineering fields. Research demonstrates that PLTW students outperform their peers in school, are better prepared for post-secondary studies, and are more likely to consider careers as scientists, technology experts, engineers, mathematicians, healthcare providers, and researchers compared to their non-PLTW peers. LES was named a 2022-23 School of Distinction by PLTW.

LES offers a before, during, and after school daycare option for working families that provides a safe and structured environment. Preschool students have the ability to attend PAWS Daycare and go to preschool without having to find transportation from one to the other.
