Summary:

Phalen Leadership Academy - IN Inc is the only school in the Phalen Leadership Academy - IN Inc district, so it is the entire area: 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 0 alternative schools. It is classified as an Elementary school but serves grades K–8, with 247 students, and is located at 3920 Baker Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46202. Because the district has just this one campus, district and school figures are identical, so the useful comparisons are against the state rather than against peer schools.

The most important context for families is attendance and outcomes. Chronic absenteeism was 42.2% in 2024–25, compared with 16.7% statewide — about two and a half times the state rate. About 73.68% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. Resource indicators look strong: $22,631 in per-student spending for 2023–24 and a 10.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25. Yet the district ranks 330 of 374 in Indiana, the 12th percentile, with 1 star, and the school ranked 860 of 1015 in 2025–26 (15th percentile). Every reported grade-level proficiency score in 2025–26 was below the state comparison. The smallest gaps were ELA 3 (-11.25 points), ELA 7 (-11.7 points), and Math 8 (-12.32 points). The largest were Social Studies 5 (-40.95 points), Science 6 (-37.87 points), and ELA 8 (-31.1 points). Lowest scores included Science 6 at 3.33%, Social Studies 5 at 6.25%, and Math 7 at 10.34%.

There are signs of improvement. School rank moved from 913 of 1011 in 2023–24 to 860 of 1015 in 2025–26, and the star rating went from 0 stars in 2023–24 to 1 star in 2024–25 and 2025–26. All-grades Math rose from 13.1% to 22.16%, a gain of 9.06 percentage points; ELA moved from 19.05% to 21.24%, and Science from 8.77% to 10.71%. Grade-level relative strengths in 2025–26 were Math 3 (35.56%), Math 4 (30.77%), ELA 7 (30%), and ELA 3 (29.55%). By contrast, Social Studies 5 fell from 10.34% to 6.25% while the state comparison rose from 38.5% to 47.2%, widening that gap from -28.16 to -40.95 percentage points.
