Summary:
Rooted School Indianapolis is the only school in the Rooted School Indianapolis district — a single high school serving grades 7–12 with about 150 students. Because the district contains just one school, its school and district figures mirror each other. The latest state comparison ranks the school 383rd of 415 schools (8th percentile, 0 stars), while the district ranks 327th of 374 (13th percentile, 1 star).
There are real bright spots. Eighth grade math was the strongest result: 33.33% proficient, only 0.87 percentage points below Indiana's 34.2%. All-grade math rose from 10.42% in 2024–2025 to 26.67% in 2025–2026, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing improved from 20% to 23.08%, and Biology End of Course edged up from 14.29% to 15.56%. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 and reports $17,225 per-student spending in 2023–2024, with 74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
At the same time, most measures trail the state. Graduation is 60.0% versus 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is 33.9% versus 16.7%. SAT Math was 0% proficient compared with the state's 25.6%, and eighth grade ELA was 12.5% versus 44%. Math and ELA moved in opposite directions, and the school's ranking slipped from the 18th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 8th percentile in 2025–2026. With only 150 students across six grades, percentages can swing sharply based on a handful of test-takers, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously.
