Summary:
The Rooted School Indianapolis is the only high school located within the Rooted School Indianapolis district. This small school serves a student population of 158 and faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages on both the ILEARN and SAT assessments.
The school's performance is concerning, with a low statewide ranking and a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 4-year graduation rate of 88.4% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is relatively high. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates as low as 9.52% in 7th grade English Language Arts and 11.54% in 8th grade Math, compared to state averages of 37.9% and 34.5%, respectively.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $17,225, which is above the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, the academic performance remains poor. This suggests that additional resources alone may not be enough to address the challenges faced by the school, which likely include the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (84.81%) and the factors contributing to the school's high chronic absenteeism rate. Addressing these underlying issues will be crucial in helping the Rooted School Indianapolis improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education to its students.
