Summary

Enlace Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 676 students in grades K-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The school is part of the Enlace Academy district, which is ranked 297 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Enlace Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Indiana elementary schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 846 out of 1,005 schools in 2024-2025 to 895 out of 1,027 schools in 2017-2018. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. Compared to nearby schools like Clarence Farrington School 61, Enlace Academy has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, lower academic performance, and a much higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,083 to $15,263 in recent years) than the nearby Speedway and Pike Township schools, which generally spend $12,000 to $18,000 per student, Enlace Academy is not achieving the same level of academic performance. This suggests the school is struggling to effectively address the challenges it faces, and the high spending is not translating into better outcomes for students.
