Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate is a public middle school located in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 1,355 students. The school consistently outperforms the Franklin Township Community School Corporation district and the state of Indiana in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels, with 42.99% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 49.74% proficient in ILEARN/Math for all grades.

However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 40.23% in 2021-2022 to 52.62% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's spending per student has also fluctuated, ranging from $4,541 in 2020-2021 to $9,184 in 2022-2023, which may impact its ability to provide consistent resources and support. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools within the Franklin Township Community School Corporation, such as Edgewood Intermediate School and Franklin Central Junior High, Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate generally outperforms them in academic proficiency.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, it is on par with the rates of nearby schools within the same district, suggesting that addressing chronic absenteeism may be a district-wide challenge. Overall, Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate is a high-performing middle school, but it faces challenges related to a growing population of economically disadvantaged students and fluctuating funding, which may require targeted interventions and resource allocation to ensure continued academic success.
