Summary

Paramount Englewood is a charter middle school at 1849 E Pleasant Run S Pkwy Dr on Indianapolis's southeast side, serving grades 5–8 with 270 students. In 2025–26 it ranked 177th of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 64th percentile, 3 stars. When the same results are ranked among district networks, Paramount Englewood placed 107th of 374 (71st percentile, 4 stars), so the broader view of the school is slightly more favorable than the school-level one.

Among nearby schools, Paramount Englewood is a standout. Its ILEARN proficiency — 46.8% in English/language arts, 39.9% in math, and 25.7% in science — is second only to H. L. Harshman Middle School, a much better-funded Indianapolis Public Schools magnet 1.4 miles away. It beats every nearby charter or choice peer (KIPP Indy College Prep Middle, Avondale Meadows Middle School, and Irvington Community Middle School) by roughly 20–28 points in ELA and 22–29 points in math. That happens on $15,153 per student and an 18:1 student-teacher ratio — mid-pack spending and large classes. Beech Grove Middle School, with similar poverty rates, posts ELA and math results 13 and 7 points lower.

The main concerns are attendance and a few specific grades. Chronic absenteeism was 42.2% in 2024–25 — the highest in the local peer group and roughly 2.5 times the state's 16.7% — and it has drifted rather than improved. Fifth-grade social studies proficiency has sat between about 2% and 7% for four straight years while the state is near 40%, pointing to a curriculum or staffing issue in the entry grade. Grade 7 is below state in reading and math, while grade 8 is exceptional (18.1 points above state in ELA). Science rose to 25.71% but still trails the state's 41.2%, and math has plateaued near 40% even as ELA recovers.
