Summary:

MSD Wayne Township is an Indianapolis-area district serving roughly 14,851 students across 16 schools — 11 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools — and is ranked 292 of 374 in Indiana at the 22nd percentile with 1 star, though performance varies dramatically from school to school.

The clearest bright spot is Ben Davis University High School, ranked 69 of 415 high schools at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. It posts a 99.0% graduation rate (vs 82.4% district and 89.7% state), 7.2% chronic absenteeism, SAT ERW 60.83% and SAT Math 25%, all while serving a 73.6% free/reduced lunch population. By contrast, Ben Davis High School, the district's largest school at 3,315 students, graduates 89.8% but has 37.5% chronic absenteeism and much lower SAT results (ERW 28.56%, Math 10.53%), ranking 334 of 415 at the 20th percentile with 1 star. Achieve Virtual Education Academy is unusual: 0.0% reported absenteeism alongside a 50.8% graduation rate and very low SAT Math, with its 7th/8th grade ELA and Math results suppressed.

Among elementaries, Robey Elementary School (3 stars, 58th percentile) and McClelland Elementary School (3 stars, 50th percentile) lead, with proficiency well above district averages; McClelland also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.9. Chapel Glen Elementary School is the lowest-ranked at 978 of 1,015 (4th percentile, 0 stars). Only 3 of 16 schools earned 3 or more stars, while most have 1 or 0. Math is a district-wide weakness (5th grade 14.65% vs state 42%), and absenteeism is severe at Ben Davis High School (37.5%), North Wayne Elementary School (29.3%), Maplewood Elementary School (28.3%) and Rhoades Elementary School (27.0%). In MSD Wayne Township, spending and class size alone do not predict results.
