Summary

Floro Torrence School 83 is a public middle school located in Indianapolis, Indiana that has seen a significant decline in enrollment, going from 197 students in the 2022-2023 school year to just 197 students. The school 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.

Floro Torrence School 83 faces several key challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly below-average academic performance on ILEARN tests, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite increased spending per student, the school has consistently underperformed the district and state averages, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better meet the needs of its students.

The significant decline in enrollment at Floro Torrence School 83 is a concerning trend, and the school's poor academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates are likely contributing factors. The school and district will need to develop a comprehensive plan to address these issues and provide the necessary resources and support to help the school's students succeed.
