Summary

Robert Lee Frost School 106 - a STEM School is a PK–6 elementary school in Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) serving 308 students, in an area where IPS, charter, and MSD Lawrence Township schools sit close together. Its district ranks 316th of 374 in Indiana, and Frost itself is rated 0 stars, ranking 1010th of 1015 Indiana schools in 2025–26 (0th percentile).

Academically, Frost reports single-digit proficiency in every core subject: 3.68% in ELA, 4.41% in Math, and 2.7% in Science for 2025–26, plus 8% in 5th-grade Social Studies. District averages are 21.09% ELA, 21.19% Math, and 21.32% Science, so Frost trails its own district as well as state benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism is 44.2%, well above the district's 32.2% and the state's 16.7%, and it has generally worsened over time (22.4% in 2020–21). Per-student spending is $20,985, the highest among the nearby schools compared here, while the student-teacher ratio has grown from 11.4 to 15.9 in three years.

Comparisons with nearby schools are telling. Fellow IPS school Sankofa School of Success at Arlington Woods School 99, also rated 0 stars, posts higher proficiency in ELA (10.29%), Math (16.67%), and Science (10.87%) despite higher absenteeism (46.8%) and slightly lower spending. Avondale Meadows Academy (93.67% free/reduced lunch) and Circle City Preparatory Elementary School (94.7%) serve higher-poverty populations yet outperform Frost in all three subjects. The Nature School of Central Indiana is the nearby standout at 62nd percentile and 3 stars, though it serves a very different population. Notably, a school with "STEM" in its name has the lowest science result of any school compared here, a mismatch worth asking about.
