Elementary Schools in Phalen Leadership Academy at Francis Scott Key School 103

There is only one elementary school located within the Phalen Leadership Academy at Francis Scott Key School 103 district, which serves students in grades K-5. Based on the available data, Phalen at Francis Scott Key 103 is a struggling school that has consistently underperformed academically compared to state averages.

The school's demographic makeup is diverse, with a high percentage of African American (60.78%) and Hispanic (35.13%) students, as well as a large population (72.86%) of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below state standards, with proficiency rates ranging from just 4.11% to 25.32% on ILEARN assessments, well below the state averages of around 40% in both English Language Arts and Math. The school's overall ILEARN proficiency rates are just 8.36% in ELA and 14.33% in Math, placing it in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Factors contributing to the school's poor performance include a high chronic absenteeism rate of 54.3% and a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, despite per-student spending that is above the state average. These persistent challenges suggest that the school and district may need to implement more targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes.
