Summary

Christian Park School 82 - an Exploratory School is a PK–6 elementary school serving 251 students on Indianapolis' near east side, at 4700 English Ave, as part of Indianapolis Public Schools. The school ranks 871 of 1015 Indiana schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 14th percentile with 1 star — its best result since 2015–2016 and an improvement from 2024–2025, when it was in the 5th percentile with 0 stars. Still, it remains in the bottom 14% of the state, and the district itself ranks in the 16th percentile with 1 star.

Academically, the picture is mixed. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 13.49% in English Language Arts, 23.02% in Math, and 22.22% in Science. Math and Science are slightly above the district rates, but ELA trails the district. Grade-level results show ELA is the weakest area: 3rd grade 10.2%, 4th grade 16.67%, and 5th grade 14.63%, all far below the state's roughly 41–42%. Math is uneven but has bright spots — 5th grade Math is 34.15%, well above the district's 18.84% and near the state's 42%, while 4th grade Math is just 13.89%. Fifth-grade Social Studies is 25%, above the district's 22.99% but below the state's 47.2%. By comparison, nearby William McKinley School 39 - an Exploratory School and George W. Julian School 57 post much higher ELA and Math results, and Paramount Brookside earns 4 stars, despite similar free/reduced-lunch rates.

The biggest red flag is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 38.0% in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools with reported data and more than double Indiana's 16.7%. It improved from 49.4% in 2020–2021 but edged up from 36.3% the prior year. Spending is relatively high at $19,185 per student, with a 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio — better than several peers — yet that has not translated into higher achievement here. The clearest opportunities look like attendance, early literacy, and 4th-grade Math.
