Summary

Thomas Gregg Neighborhood School 15 is a PK–6 elementary school in Indianapolis Public Schools on Indianapolis’s east side that enrolls 525 students, making it the largest elementary in the nearby same-district comparison. The district is ranked 316th of 374 in Indiana (16th percentile, 1 star), and the school is ranked 938th of 1,015 in 2025–2026 (8th percentile, 0 stars).

Academically, the school’s all-grade ILEARN proficiency in 2025–2026 was 16.67% in English Language Arts, 16.67% in Math, and 11.9% in Science, below the Indianapolis Public Schools averages of 21.09%, 21.19%, and 21.32%, and far below state grade-level benchmarks. For example, 3rd grade Math was 27.06% versus 51.9% statewide, while 5th grade Math was 9.64% versus 42% statewide. Among nearby same-district schools, Benjamin Harrison School 2 posted 50.33% ELA, 43.71% Math, and 70.21% Science, and William McKinley School 39 - an Exploratory School posted 43.23% ELA, 50.97% Math, and 31.91% Science. Nearby charters also outperform: Paramount Cottage Home had 65.36% ELA and 64.25% Math, and Paramount Brookside had 59.13% ELA and 68.11% Math. Its 3rd grade ELA (21.18%) and Math (27.06%) are above district averages, but upper-grade results drop sharply.

In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 34.3%, above the district’s 32.2% and more than double the state’s 16.7%, though it has fallen from 81.0% in 2021–2022. The school’s free/reduced lunch rate was 79.05%, the highest among nearby schools, yet similarly high-poverty peers such as William McKinley School 39 - an Exploratory School and Paramount Brookside achieve much higher proficiency. Per-student spending was $20,106 in 2023–2024, higher than most nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.4, lower than the nearby charters. Recent gains are notable—all-grade ELA rose from 6.65% in 2023–2024 to 10.38% in 2024–2025 to 16.67% in 2025–2026—but Science declined from 15.73% to 11.9%.
