Summary:
KIPP Indy Legacy High is the only school in the KIPP Indy Legacy High district, a public high school in Indianapolis, Indiana serving grades 9–12 with 349 students, with no elementary, middle, or alternative schools in this area. Because the district contains just this one school, every district-level number reported here is also the school's own number, so any district trend is the school's trend.
Academic results and attendance are the areas of greatest concern. In 2024–25, 56.3% of students were chronically absent, more than triple Indiana's 16.7% rate, and the graduation rate was 73.9% compared with 89.7% statewide, meaning roughly one in four students in the reported cohort did not graduate. Test proficiency sits well below state averages: SAT Math was 3.33% in 2024–25 and 6.10% in 2025–26 (state: 25.4% and 25.6%), SAT Reading and Writing fell from 21.11% to 14.63% (state: 54.5% and 51.9%), and Biology dropped from 11.11% to 4.65%. The district ranks 361 of 374 in Indiana, the 3rd percentile, and has earned 0 stars in each of the last three years, with percentile rank slipping from 8 to 6 even as raw rank improved slightly from 402nd to 391st.
Context matters when reading these numbers. Nearly all students, 97.99%, qualify for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, so the school serves an overwhelmingly economically disadvantaged population. It spends $12,882 per student (2023–24) and has a student-teacher ratio of 17.4 (2024–25); the data set provides no state or peer averages, so it is not possible to say whether those figures are high or low. The one bright spot worth watching is the small uptick in SAT Math proficiency, alongside the modest raw rank gain. Families considering this school should weigh its small size and near-universal economic need against the significant attendance and achievement challenges documented here.
