Jeremiah Gray Elementary School

Summary:

Jeremiah Gray Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 562 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Perry Township Schools district, which is ranked 197 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Jeremiah Gray has a relatively diverse student population, with 46.8% White, 7.47% African American, 17.44% Hispanic, and 20.64% Asian students. This diversity is higher than nearby schools like Homecroft Elementary and Mary Bryan Elementary. However, Jeremiah Gray's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a larger percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.

Jeremiah Gray Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 297 out of 1,046 Indiana elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 679 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state. While Jeremiah Gray has a more diverse student population, its academic challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and a large percentage of students from low-income families, may be contributing to its lower performance. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support services could help the school improve its educational outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
