Summary:
KIPP Indy Legacy High is the only high school in this data set, serving grades 9–12 to 349 students at 2255 N Ralston Ave in Indianapolis, and it operates as its own district, so school-level and district-level figures are identical throughout the data. The KIPP Indy Legacy High district covers this single campus on the east side of Indianapolis.
Chronic absenteeism is the most striking concern: 56.3% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared with 16.7% statewide — roughly 3.4 times the state rate. The graduation rate was 73.9% in 2024–2025, which is 15.8 percentage points below Indiana's 89.7%. Proficiency is low across every assessment with a state comparison. In 2025–2026, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency was 14.63% versus 51.9% statewide, and SAT Mathematics was 6.1% versus 25.6%. In 2024–2025, Biology ILEARN End of Course proficiency was 11.11% versus 45.6% statewide; the 2025–2026 Biology figure was 4.65%, with no state value provided for that year. The school ranks 361 of 374 districts, at the 3rd percentile, with 0 stars, and has stayed in the bottom decile across 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026.
There is one relative bright spot: SAT Mathematics proficiency improved from 3.33% in 2024–2025 to 6.1% in 2025–2026, though it remains far below the state. Meanwhile, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing fell from 21.11% to 14.63% and Biology fell from 11.11% to 4.65%. The student body is almost universally economically disadvantaged, with 97.99% eligible for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $12,882 with a student-teacher ratio of 17.4. Because this data set covers only one school, no peer-school comparisons are possible, and no state benchmarks were provided for free/reduced lunch, spending, or student-teacher ratio. The clearest priority suggested by the data is chronic absenteeism, given its extreme level and its likely connection to graduation and achievement.
