Phalen Leadership Academy - IN Inc

Summary:

Phalen Leadership Academy - IN Inc is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana. This school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (88.28%) and from low-income households (77.82% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, Phalen Leadership Academy - IN Inc struggles, with ILEARN test scores that are well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.44% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of over 40%. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 54.9%, which likely contributes to the low academic performance.

Despite the challenges, the school serves a high-need population and may be operating with limited resources, as indicated by the relatively low spending per student of $13,216 (2021-2022). Addressing the academic, attendance, and socioeconomic issues at Phalen Leadership Academy - IN Inc will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the students and improve the overall school climate and culture.
