Rousseau McClellan School 91

Summary:

Rousseau McClellan School 91 is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana, part of the Indianapolis Public Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school stands out for its strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages in key test score metrics.

In the 2023-2024 school year, 42.11% of Rousseau McClellan students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to just 20.72% for the district. Similarly, 36.14% of the school's students were proficient or better in ILEARN/Math, versus 19.27% for the district. This trend extends to individual grade-level test scores, where Rousseau McClellan consistently outperforms the district and state. The school also boasts lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the district average.

In contrast, several local charter schools, such as The Genius School and Indy Steam Academy, have much lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Rousseau McClellan still faces achievement gaps between different racial groups, suggesting the need for continued focus on addressing disparities and improving educational outcomes for all students.

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.
