Summary

KIPP Indy Legacy High is a public charter high school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 386 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the KIPP Indy district, which is ranked 349 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

KIPP Indy Legacy High faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests, with only 11.11% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Biology, 21.11% in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and 3.33% in SAT/Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. These proficiency rates have been declining over the years. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with the performance of various student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Indiana high schools. The school's performance for Low Socioeconomic Status students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 10% of Indiana high schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Arsenal Technical High School, Shortridge High School, and Herron High School, KIPP Indy Legacy High performs significantly worse on academic measures like test scores and graduation rates. For example, Herron High School, a nearby charter school, consistently outperforms KIPP Indy Legacy High across all academic metrics, with proficiency rates over 60% in ILEARN/Biology and over 75% in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's low academic performance suggests that the available resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning.
