Summary

Lakeside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 546 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the MSD Warren Township school district, which is ranked 319 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeside Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in ILEARN (Indiana's standardized test) that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 28.28% in ELA, 29.8% in Math, and 23.71% in Science, compared to the state averages of 40.3%, 51.5%, and 43.2%, respectively. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 25.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Lakeside has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.48% to 79.28% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the same MSD Warren Township district also perform poorly on academic measures, with proficiency rates similar to or slightly better than Lakeside Elementary. However, the nearby Tindley Summit Academy, Andrew J. Brown Academy, and Phalen Leadership Academy schools generally have lower proficiency rates than Lakeside Elementary, despite higher per-student spending. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be at play in the academic performance of these schools.
