Summary

Christian Park School 82 is an elementary school located in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 298 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Indianapolis Public Schools district, which is ranked 300 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Christian Park School 82 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 36.3% over the past few years, well above the district average. Additionally, Christian Park School 82 has extremely low proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.33% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and the math proficiency rate was just 17.42%, both well below the district's averages. A very high percentage of students, ranging from 61.41% to 83.33%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Christian Park School 82 to nearby schools in the same district, such as Brookside School 54 and Thomas D Gregg School 15, it performs significantly worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The charter schools in the area, such as Bethel Park Elementary and Paramount Brookside, also outperform Christian Park School 82 on these measures. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Christian Park School 82, the school's outcomes are still very poor, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the low performance.
