Summary:
There is one school in this data set: Indianapolis Metropolitan High School, a high school serving grades 9–12 with 194 students, located at 1635 W Michigan St, Indianapolis, IN 46222. The area summary lists 1 high school and no elementary, middle, or alternative schools, so everything here describes that single school. It is also its own district, Indianapolis Metropolitan High School, which is why school and district values match on most measures.
Performance data places the school at the bottom of Indiana's rankings. It earned 0 stars and ranked 412th of 415 schools in 2025–2026 (1st percentile), down from 5th percentile in 2024–2025 and 6th percentile in 2023–2024; the district is listed at 372nd of 374, also 1st percentile with 0 stars. The graduation rate is 43.2%, compared with 89.7% statewide — less than half. Chronic absenteeism is 79.7% versus 16.7% statewide, meaning roughly 4 in 5 students are chronically absent. SAT proficiency is far below state levels: 7.41% in Evidence-based Reading and Writing versus 51.9% statewide, and 0% in Mathematics versus 25.6% in 2025–2026. The prior year followed a similar pattern, at 7.84% ERW and 1.96% Math. Biology ILEARN End-of-Course proficiency was 10% in 2024–2025 versus 45.6% statewide; the 2025–2026 value is not reported and should be treated as unknown, not as zero.
Context matters. The free/reduced lunch rate is 73.71%, indicating nearly three-quarters of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school reports a student-teacher ratio of 8.8 and per-student spending of $15,162 in 2023–2024; the data includes no state averages for these two measures, so they cannot be compared here. With only 194 students, percentages can shift substantially from year to year based on a few students, which is useful context when reading changes such as SAT Math moving from 1.96% to 0%.
