Circle City Prep Charter School

Circle City Prep Charter School operates a single elementary school, Circle City Preparatory Elementary School, serving students in grades K-6 in Indiana. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly African American student population.

Circle City Preparatory Elementary School has struggled to meet academic standards, with only 19.08% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 23.53% in Math across all grades. Performance varies by grade level, with 3rd grade having the lowest proficiency rates and 4th grade the highest. This trend of low achievement has persisted over the past three school years, ranking the school in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.7% likely contributes to these poor academic outcomes.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $13,553, the school has not been able to translate this funding into improved student learning. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as student engagement, family support, and resource allocation, will be crucial for Circle City Prep Charter School to provide a high-quality education for its students and drive meaningful progress.
