Summary

College Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 473 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.

College Park Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on ILEARN assessments, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.72% of all students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 24.67% for the district and 40.3% for the state. The school's per-student spending is relatively high, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing College Park Elementary School to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Central Elementary School and New Augusta Public Academy - South, the academic performance is generally similar, with all three schools performing below the state and district averages. However, the gap is significant when comparing College Park Elementary School to higher-performing schools in the Carmel Clay School District, such as West Clay Elementary School and College Wood Elementary School, which consistently outperform College Park Elementary School and the state average by a wide margin.
