Summary:
ACE Preparatory Academy is the only school in the ACE Preparatory Academy district, serving grades K–5 with 131 students at 5326 Hillside Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46220. Because it is a single-school district, district and school results are effectively identical, so there are no peer schools to compare within the area.
ACE Preparatory Academy currently has a 1-star rating and ranks 296 of 374 districts (21st percentile). Its school rank has been stable at about the 24th percentile for 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026, indicating a persistent bottom-quartile pattern. At the all-grade level, ELA improved from 22.22% to 30.65% and math improved from 22.22% to 25.81% in 2025–2026. Science declined from 30.3% to 18.18%, and 5th grade social studies fell from 36.36% to 26.67%. Most 2025–2026 grade-level results are below state. The largest gaps are 5th grade math (-28.67 points), 4th grade math (-28.47), 4th grade science (-26.15), 4th grade ELA (-24.55), and 6th grade science (-22.45). The 6th grade ELA result of 50% is above the state’s 41.3%, but the school is listed as K–5, so this stands out as a possible data anomaly.
Chronic absenteeism is 20.9%, above the state rate of 16.7%, which can be a headwind for learning. Free/reduced lunch is 84.73%, indicating a high-need student population. Resource metrics include $14,014 spent per student in 2023–2024 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 in 2024–2025, roughly 12 teachers for 131 students. Overall, parents should see a small, high-poverty school with stable low rankings, some all-grade ELA and math improvement, but continuing concerns in math, science, social studies, and attendance.
