Summary

KIPP Indy Unite Elementary is a K–5 charter school at 1740 E 30th St in Indianapolis, IN, serving 721 students — one of the largest elementary enrollments among its nearby schools — in a neighborhood where nearly every child comes from a low-income household (98.47% received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate in its local comparison group).

Academically, 2025–2026 ILEARN proficiency rates are low: 15.86% in English Language Arts, 22.16% in Math, 13.54% in Science, and 12.15% in fifth-grade Social Studies. Every tested grade and subject falls well below Indiana averages — 3rd grade ELA is 8.67% versus 40.8% statewide, and the school's strongest result, 4th grade Math at 33.33%, is still about 19 percentage points below the state. In the KIPP Indy Unite Elementary district listing it ranks 347th of 374 districts in Indiana (7th percentile, 0 stars), and in the 2025–2026 school ranking it is 902nd of 1,015 (11th percentile, 1 star). Results sit in the lower-middle of nearby schools: Paramount Brookside (59.13% ELA, 68.11% Math) and Herron Preparatory Academy score far higher, while James Whitcomb Riley School 43, James Russell Lowell School 51 - a Montessori School, and Avondale Meadows Academy score lower in most subjects. Several nearby schools, including Charity Dye School 27 and William Bell School 60 - a Butler Lab Reggio Emilia School, belong to Indianapolis Public Schools.

There are encouraging signs. Proficiency has risen since 2022–2023 in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies, and chronic absenteeism fell from 47.3% in 2021–2022 to 33.2% in 2024–2025 — still roughly double the state rate of 16.7%. The student–teacher ratio, however, climbed from 12.8 to 21.2, the second highest nearby. Per-student spending is $15,656, mid-range locally. Notably, compared with Riley and Lowell, KIPP achieves higher proficiency despite more poverty and larger classes.
