Summary

Lew Wallace School 107 - an Exploratory School is a PK–6 school in Indianapolis Public Schools, located at 3307 Ashway Dr in Indianapolis, near the Speedway area, and serving 440 students. In 2025–2026, it ranked 883rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools—13th percentile, 1 star—up slightly from the 8th–9th percentile in recent years but still in the bottom decile. The district itself ranks 316th of 374 Indiana districts, at the 16th percentile with 1 star.

For parents, the academic picture is mixed but mostly below state norms. Math is the relative bright spot: 23.40% proficiency, above the district rate of 21.19%, though far below state averages. ELA is 20.21%, just under the district’s 21.09%. Science is a serious weakness at 10.45%—less than half the district’s 21.32%—and 5th-grade Social Studies is 7.69%, about one-third of the district’s 22.99% and far below the state’s 47.20%. Fifth grade is the clearest concern: ELA 11.32%, Math 9.43%, and Social Studies 7.69%. One positive trend is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 39.8% in 2020–2021 to 17.0% in 2024–2025, now close to the state average and well below the district average. ELA also improved sharply from 10.44% to 20.21% in the latest year.

Compared with nearby schools in the same district, Lew Wallace School 107 - an Exploratory School is relatively stronger in ELA and Math than Jonathan Jennings School 109 - an Exploratory School, Carl Wilde School 79 Center For Inquiry - an Inquiry School, and Meredith Nicholson School 96 - an Exploratory School, but weaker in Science and Social Studies. Nearby schools in School Town of Speedway—James A Allison Elementary School 3, Arthur C Newby Elementary School 2, and Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4—are 0.74–1.71 miles away and post 50%–75% proficiency despite higher poverty rates and lower spending. Enlace Academy, 0.62 miles away, also outperforms it in every subject with higher poverty and lower spending. It spends $17,951 per student, more than every nearby school outside the district, yet its results remain low overall, suggesting resources alone have not closed the gap.
