Summary

Guion Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 579 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the MSD Pike Township school district, which is ranked 292 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Guion Creek Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores across all subjects and grade levels, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.62% of Guion Creek students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 24.67% for the MSD Pike Township district and 40.3% statewide. When compared to nearby schools, such as New Augusta Public Academy - South and Deer Run Elementary, as well as schools in other districts, Guion Creek consistently performs worse on standardized test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates.

Despite the school's challenges, Guion Creek Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $9,861 in 2020-2021 to $12,734 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 16 students per teacher, which is lower than the state average. These factors, coupled with the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population, suggest that Guion Creek Elementary may be serving a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing these issues, such as through targeted interventions and community engagement, will be crucial for Guion Creek Elementary to improve its outcomes and provide a quality education for its students.
