Summary

KIPP Indy Legacy High is a grades 9–12 charter high school with about 349 students, located at 2255 N Ralston Ave on Indianapolis's near-east side (46218) and operating as its own district. It is small by local standards — nearby high schools enroll 1,200 to 2,400 students — and it sits at the very bottom of Indiana's performance distribution, ranked 361st of 374 (3rd percentile, 0 stars), a position it has held since slipping from 1 star in 2021–22.

Nearly every student at KIPP Indy Legacy High comes from a low-income household: 97.99% qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, the highest rate among its peers and roughly 34 points above the next closest charter, Charles A Tindley Accelerated School. At the same time, KIPP spends less per student than any peer with data — $12,882 in 2023–24, down 17% over two years and about $6,000–$6,900 below Indianapolis Public Schools high schools such as Arsenal Technical High School and Crispus Attucks High School. Its student–teacher ratio has climbed from 13.9 to 17.4 in two years. Herron High School spends even less ($12,031) but serves a far less poor population and posts much higher proficiency.

Results are bottom-tier on most measures. Chronic absenteeism is 56.3%, essentially tied with Shortridge High School for the highest in the group and 3.4 times the state average — though it has improved 18.4 points over five years. Nearby BELIEVE Circle City High School keeps absenteeism 27–30 points lower, showing there is room to grow. The graduation rate is 73.9%, nearly 16 points below the state's 89.7%, and 2024–25 proficiency was 21.11% in SAT reading/writing, 3.33% in SAT math, and 11.11% in Biology. Two real bright spots: the English Language Learner program ranks at the 66th percentile with 3 stars, better than the overall performance of nearly every nearby school, and SAT math proficiency has risen from 1.56% to 6.10% over two years.
