George W Julian School 57 is an elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving grades PK-8 with 172 students. The school has a diverse student population and is part of the Indianapolis Public Schools district, which is ranked 290 out of 381 districts in the state.

George W Julian School 57 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with 48.84% White, 20.93% African American, and 19.19% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance lags behind the state averages, despite outperforming the Indianapolis Public Schools district in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 36.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is lower than nearby schools like Thomas D Gregg School 15 (36.9%) and James Russell Lowell School 51 (39.9%), but higher than Brookside School 54 (31.8%) and Ralph Waldo Emerson School 58 (33.1%).

Despite the school's challenges, it has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (64.53%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 78.55% to 85.37%. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($18,322) is higher than the nearby schools, which range from $16,055 to $19,620 per student. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.7) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 10.9 to 83.7 students per teacher. These factors suggest that the school may be receiving more resources to support its students, but the need for continued improvement and support to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school and its students remains.

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.
