Summary

PLA at George H Fisher School 93 is an elementary school on Indianapolis's east side serving grades K–6, with 417 students. In the data it is also listed as its own district, ranked 293rd of 374 districts (22nd percentile, 1 star), and its school-level rank in 2025–2026 was 766th of 1,015 (25th percentile, 1 star). That is a meaningful climb from 2020–2021, when it ranked 942nd of 1,016 (7th percentile, 0 stars), so the long-term trend is improving even though overall performance remains low.

Compared with nearby eastside schools, PLA is a relative bright spot. Its all-grade ELA proficiency of 23.72% is above the nearby median of 13.29%, and its Math proficiency of 36.74% is above the nearby median of 21.16% — second only to Circle City Preparatory Elementary School at 45.39%. Science proficiency (15.46%) ranks third highest nearby. Only Pleasant Run Elementary School clearly outpaces PLA in ELA, at 39.11%. Fifth-grade Social Studies (17.54%) is the highest among nearby schools with reported results, though still far below the state's 47.2%.

Challenges remain significant. Chronic absenteeism was 37.1% in 2024–2025, more than double the state rate of 16.7%; it has improved from 54.9% in 2021–2022 but sits far above Pleasant Run's 8.8%. Math is the clearest strength, with 6th-grade Math at 39.62% (close to the state's 40.2%), 4th grade at 43.18%, and 3rd grade at 39.34%. Science and Social Studies lag badly: 4th-grade Science was 15.91% against 43.8% statewide. The school spends $17,100 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.5, both better than the nearby median. About 74.34% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Attendance, ELA, Science, and Social Studies remain the biggest priorities.
