Summary

Broad Ripple Middle School - an IB World School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 623 students as part of Indianapolis Public Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 389th of 486 Indiana middle schools — 20th percentile, 1 star — while the district ranked 316th of 374 (16th percentile, 1 star). All-grades ILEARN proficiency was 20.51% in English Language Arts, 14.71% in Math, and 28.68% in Science.

Compared with its district, the school's ELA proficiency is nearly level (20.51% vs. 21.09%) and its Science is above the district (28.68% vs. 21.32%), but Math trails by 6.48 points (14.71% vs. 21.19%) — the clearest weakness in the data. Nearby schools vary enormously: H. L. Harshman Middle School, in the same district, ranks 63rd of 486 (87th percentile, 4 stars) with 60.15% ELA, 48.81% Math, and 46.5% Science, while Lincoln Middle School ranks below Broad Ripple. Broad Ripple's Biology End of Course score of 79.31% is well above the district's 20.07%, but that exam typically covers a subset of students and should not be read as schoolwide science strength. Its student-teacher ratio of 11.8 is the lowest among comparable nearby schools, yet schools with higher ratios report much higher proficiency.

Grade-level results show a split: Broad Ripple's 6th grade outperforms the district in ELA (27.14% vs. 20.81%), Math (17.99% vs. 15.52%), and Science (28.68% vs. 17.84%), while 7th and 8th grade fall below district averages in ELA and Math. The 7th-grade ELA figure, 15.13%, is below the district's 19.69% and lower than every nearby school reporting a 7th-grade ELA score. Note also that chronic absenteeism and per-student spending were not available for Broad Ripple, making it hard to know whether attendance or resources play a role.
