Summary

Washington Irving Neighborhood School 14 is a PK–8 school serving about 230 students at 1250 E Market St in Indianapolis, part of Indianapolis Public Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 971st of 1,015 Indiana schools, placing it in the 4th percentile with 0 stars, and its prior years sit mostly in the 1st–5th percentile range going back to 2011–2012 — a long-standing pattern rather than a one-year dip.

Academically, 2025–2026 All Grades proficiency was 11.93% in English Language Arts, 15.74% in Math, and 5.26% in Science, all far below district and state averages. Fifth grade is the weakest area: ELA, Math, and Social Studies are each at 6.67%, and 4th grade Science is 5.26%. Third grade ELA, at 19.51%, is slightly above the district average and is the one relative bright spot. Chronic absenteeism is 50.5% — more than three times Indiana's rate and higher than every nearby school — which is likely the single biggest obstacle to improvement. ELA and Math have improved modestly over three years, but from an extremely low base.

Compared with nearby schools, Washington Irving has the lowest ELA, Math, and Science proficiency, even though several nearby schools have similar or higher poverty rates: William McKinley School 39 (70.21% free/reduced lunch, 43.23% ELA), SE Neighborhood School of Excellence (88.1% FRL, higher in all three subjects), and Invent Learning Hub (94.12% FRL, higher Math and Science). Washington Irving also spends $22,500 per student — second-highest among nearby schools — with a 12.7 student–teacher ratio, suggesting that funding and staffing levels alone are not producing results.
