IN Math & Science Academy

IN Math & Science Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana. With a total enrollment of 535 students, the school is part of the IN Math & Science Academy District, which is ranked 54 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The IN Math & Science Academy appears to be a standout school in several ways. Its ILEARN test scores are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in math, with 56.06% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math compared to the state average of 34.5% for 8th grade. The school's statewide ranking has also improved over the past few years, moving from 388 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 262 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the challenges of serving a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students (88.79%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school is effectively supporting student learning and achievement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1 and spending per student of $13,699 suggest the school is providing the necessary resources to meet the needs of its students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is an area of concern that the school may need to address to further improve student outcomes.
