Summary:

IN Math & Science Academy - North is a public charter school in Indianapolis, Indiana that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

The school has seen steady improvements in its graduation rates, increasing from 62.7% in 2020-2021 to 85.0% in 2022-2023, outpacing the graduation rates of many nearby schools.

Academically, IN Math & Science Academy - North's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 9.8% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math in 2023-2024 compared to the state average of 31.4% for 8th grade.

The school has also seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, from $7,776 in 2018-2019 to $12,813 in 2021-2022, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may be contributing factors to its higher graduation rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
