Summary:
Paramount Englewood is the only middle school in the Paramount Englewood area of Indianapolis, Indiana, serving roughly 270 students in grades 5 through 8. It belongs to the Paramount Englewood district, which ranks 107 of 374 districts statewide and is rated at the 71st percentile with 4 stars. Because this is the only middle school here, the most useful comparisons are against Indiana state averages and against the school's own results in prior years.
Academically, 8th grade is the clear bright spot. Eighth grade ELA proficiency reached 62.12, about 18 points above the state average of 44, and 8th grade math was 43.94, roughly 10 points above state. Science also improved sharply, climbing from 9.59 to 25.71 across all grades, although 6th grade science remains about 15 points below the state average of 41.2. Results elsewhere are uneven. Seventh grade ELA (34.62) and math (30.77) trail the state, and all-grade math slipped slightly from 41.56 to 39.9 even as ELA rose to 46.8. The single largest weakness is 5th grade social studies, where only 6.67% of students were proficient against 47.2% statewide, a gap of about 40 points that widened from the prior year.
Chronic absenteeism is the most serious concern: 42.2% of students are chronically absent, roughly 2.5 times the state rate of 16.7%. About 64.07% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,153, and the student-teacher ratio is 18:1, or about 15 teachers for the 270 students. The school's rank improved from 211 of 480 (56th percentile) in 2024–2025 to 177 of 486 (64th percentile) in 2025–2026, its best showing in three years, and it holds a 3-star rating in the rank history.
