Summary:
Schools in the Global Preparatory Academy area consist of just one campus: Global Preparatory Academy, located at 2033 Sugar Grove Ave in Indianapolis. It is classified as an elementary school even though it serves grades K–8, and because it is the only school in its district, district-level figures are identical to school-level figures. Enrollment is 742 students, with an 11.7 student-teacher ratio and $12,813 in per-student spending.
Academically, results are mixed but lean below state averages in most grades. The brightest spot is 3rd grade math at 50.47% proficient, only 1.43 points behind the state, and 4th grade math is 41.67% versus 52.0% statewide. Middle-grade math is far weaker: 7th grade math is 6.49% proficient versus 35.9% statewide, 8th grade math is 12.96%, and 5th grade math is 14.77%. Every reported ELA grade trails the state and none reaches 30%, with 6th grade ELA the strongest at 29.17%. Fifth grade is a clear pressure point across subjects, and 5th grade Social Studies posts the largest single gap in the data at 15.91% versus 47.2% statewide, a difference of 31.29 points. Encouragingly, all-grade proficiency rose year over year in ELA (20.37% to 23.65%), math (18.10% to 27.59%), and science (15.34% to 26.45%).
Families should weigh these gains against the school's overall standing. It remains a 1-star school ranked 756 of 1,015 statewide, the 26th percentile, and it serves a high-need population with 82.08% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism is 31.7%, roughly 1.9 times the state rate of 16.7%, a headwind that likely compounds classroom challenges. The takeaway: real improvement and a few relative strengths, especially in 3rd grade math, alongside severe middle-grade math weaknesses and broad ELA gaps.
