Summary:
There is one school in this area: Christel House Academy West, a K–8 elementary school in Indianapolis, IN, serving 485 students and operating as its own Christel House Academy West district. It is ranked 287th out of 374 districts, at the 23rd percentile with 1 star. Its school rank improved from 951st of 1,011 in 2023–24 to 852nd of 1,015 in 2025–26, but it remains in the bottom 16% of Indiana schools.
Current results show improvement from a low base. All-grade ELA proficiency rose from 14.29% in 2024–25 to 21.41% in 2025–26, and math rose from 17.31% to 24.77%. Science declined from 15.04% to 12.84%, while 5th-grade social studies improved from 5.36% to 8.93%. The closest grade-level results to state averages are 6th-grade ELA (36.54% vs. 41.3% state), 6th-grade math (32.69% vs. 40.2%), and 7th-grade math (28.30% vs. 35.9%). Early grades lag far behind: 3rd-grade ELA is 7.02% vs. 40.8% state, and 3rd-grade math is 17.54% vs. 51.9%. Science and social studies are also major weaknesses, including 4th-grade science at 8.77% vs. 43.8%, 6th-grade science at 17.31% vs. 41.2%, and 5th-grade social studies at 8.93% vs. 47.2%.
For families, the school’s most encouraging signal is its recent ELA and math growth, but it still trails Indiana averages in nearly every grade and subject. Chronic absenteeism is 28.2%, compared with 16.7% statewide, which may affect learning. About 65.36% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch; per-student spending was $12,013 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.8 in 2024–25. Because the school is also its own district, district and school results mirror each other, so there are no other schools in this district to compare against.
