Summary

KIPP Indy College Prep Middle is a grades 6–8 school at 1740 E 30th St in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 372 students and operating as its own reporting district. Its 2025–2026 state rank is 401st of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 17th percentile, with 1 star. It serves an extremely high-need population: 98.92% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate among nearby comparison schools. Chronic absenteeism was 36.1% in 2024–2025, more than double the state rate of 16.7%, though it has fallen from 52.8% in 2021–2022. Class sizes are the largest nearby, at a 19.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, while per-student spending of $15,077 in 2023–2024 is mid-pack.

Academically, 2025–2026 ILEARN proficiency was 18.65% in English language arts, 17.89% in math, and 8.26% in science. Math is the relative bright spot: KIPP outperforms several nearby schools, including Broad Ripple Middle School - an IB World School, Irvington Community Middle School, Avondale Meadows Middle School, and H.W. Longfellow Middle School - an IB World School. Science is the clearest concern — 8.26% is far below the state's 41.2% sixth-grade science rate and below most nearby schools. The most encouraging signal is the trend: ELA proficiency has roughly doubled since 2022–2023, math has more than quadrupled, and the school's rank percentile rose from 4 to 17, moving it from 0 stars to 1 star. Science, however, has stayed essentially flat.

Nearby schools show what is possible in the same city. H. L. Harshman Middle School ranks at the 87th percentile with 60.15% ELA, 48.81% math and 46.5% science proficiency and only 8.4% chronic absenteeism, while Eastwood Middle School is at the 78th percentile. Both serve far lower shares of low-income students (46.56% and 37.51%) with smaller classes, so they are not apples-to-apples comparisons. KIPP's results sit closer to lower-performing Paramount Englewood and other Indianapolis Public Schools and charter middle schools, though its math results beat several of them. Overall, KIPP shows real improvement, especially in math, but remains in the bottom fifth statewide, with low science proficiency, high absenteeism and large classes as its most urgent challenges.
