Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 46218

Summary:

The 46218 zip code area of Indianapolis, Indiana is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. These schools, including KIPP Indy Unite Elementary, Arlington Woods School 99, James Russell Lowell School 51, and Anna Brochhausen School 88, face significant challenges in supporting their predominantly low-income and minority student populations.

Among these schools, Anna Brochhausen School 88 stands out as the highest performer, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the other schools and the Indianapolis Public Schools district averages. In contrast, KIPP Indy Unite Elementary has the lowest test scores but serves the highest percentage of African American students and students from low-income families, indicating the school's commitment to serving a high-need population.

Overall, the data reveals stark performance gaps between these schools and state/district averages, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates that likely contribute to the low academic achievement. Addressing these systemic issues will require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, equitable resource allocation, and community-based partnerships to support the students and families in this area.
