Indianapolis Metropolitan High School

Summary:

Indianapolis Metropolitan High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the area, with 251 students. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 407 out of 429 Indiana high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is quite low, with only 10% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Biology and less than 8% proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing and Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate is 88.4%, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8%. While the school's spending per student is relatively high at $15,162, this does not seem to be translating into better outcomes for the students.

Compared to other schools in the state, Indianapolis Metropolitan High School is underperforming, with a declining statewide ranking and low academic proficiency rates. The high chronic absenteeism rate and relatively high spending per student suggest that the school may need to implement significant improvements to better serve its students and provide a high-quality education.
