Summary:
The 46205 zip code area of Indianapolis, Indiana is home to 10 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with stark contrasts in academic achievement and student demographics across the district.
Among the standout schools in the area is Center for Inquiry School 70, an elementary/middle school that consistently ranks among the top 300 elementary schools in the state. It boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.3%, and a diverse student population with 66% white students. Another strong performer is Rousseau McClellan School 91, an elementary/middle school that also ranks in the top 600 elementary schools and has strong proficiency rates, a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12%, and a more balanced racial makeup.
In contrast, several schools in the area struggle with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, including Excel Center for Adult Learners (95.4%), Tindley Genesis Academy (47.2%), and Charles A Tindley Accelerated School (47.5%). These schools, along with Louis B Russell Junior School 48, also have very low proficiency rates, often below 20%. The data suggests that addressing attendance issues and providing additional resources and support for these schools serving predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged populations should be a top priority.
