Summary:
Schools in Paramount Englewood consist of a single school — Paramount Englewood, a middle school serving grades 5–8 in Indianapolis, Indiana, with 270 students that also operates as its own district, Paramount Englewood. Because there is only one school in this area, there is no other school to compare it against; the school's own results compared with state averages tell the story. Its strongest results come from 8th grade, where 62.12% of students were proficient in ELA (18.12 points above the state's 44%) and 43.94% were proficient in math (9.74 points above the state's 34.2%). Sixth grade math (44.29%) and 5th grade ELA (46.67%) also came in above state averages, and overall ELA improved from 41.15% to 46.8% in a single year, while science jumped from 9.59% to 25.71%.
The concerns are concentrated in specific grades and in attendance. Fifth grade social studies is the single largest gap in the data: only 6.67% of students were proficient versus 47.2% statewide. Fifth grade math (33.33%), 7th grade ELA (34.62%), and 7th grade math (30.77%) all fell below state averages, and 6th grade science (25.71%) trailed the state's 41.2%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 42.2%, far above the state's 16.7% — meaning more than 2 in 5 students missed enough school to be considered chronically absent.
For parents, the picture is mixed but moving in a positive direction. The school ranks 177 of 486 schools (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26, up from the 56th percentile the prior year, and the district-level rating is 4 stars. About 64.07% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $15,153 in 2023–24, with a student-teacher ratio of 18:1. Families should weigh the strong 8th grade and improving ELA and science results against the weak social studies and math results in some grades and the very high absenteeism rate.
