Summary

Forest Glen Elementary School is a PK–6 school at 6333 Lee Rd on the northeast side of Indianapolis, serving 971 students as part of MSD Lawrence Township.

Forest Glen is the strongest-performing school in its immediate area by a wide margin. It ranks 290th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (71st percentile, 4 stars), while its own district ranks 263rd of 374 districts (30th percentile, 2 stars). In 2025–26 the school posted 52.27% ELA and 53.06% math proficiency — roughly 20 points above district averages, with science at 43.98%. Every grade-level ELA result beat the state. Nearby district schools trail well behind: Mary Evelyn Castle Elementary School and Crestview Elementary School sit at the 47th percentile, with Skiles Test Elementary School, Sunnyside Elementary School, and Indian Creek Elementary School lower still, and Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105 - an Exploratory School at the 2nd percentile. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.5%, less than half the district's 19.3% and below the state's 16.7%; the next-best nearby school is Castle at 11.4%. Poverty is also the lowest among district elementary peers, at 46.1% free/reduced lunch.

Two trade-offs stand out. Forest Glen spends the least per student in its peer group ($11,167) and runs the largest classes (22.0:1 ratio), yet still produces the highest results. Its rank has softened from the 85th–87th percentile in 2022–24 to 71st, though ELA and math each rebounded about 3–4 points in 2025–26. Watch science and 5th grade: 5th-grade math (38.26%) is the only result clearly below the state, and 4th-grade science (41.54%) is just under the state's 43.8%. Sixth grade is the standout cohort. Note that Early Learning Center serves only PK–K and reports no ILEARN results, so it isn't a meaningful academic comparison.

My son goes here since kindergarten and now he is in second grade. I loved each one of his teachers! Close Quote

School leadership uses funds that is suppose to go to the children and be used for improving the school to take lavish trips all around the world, completly funded by Forest Glen and the children. Trips that are planned by this leadership the first year include Kentucky, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, Ecuador, Galapagos Island.
School leadership also uses school funds to created positions and to hire family members and friends at higher salaries then seasoned dedicated teachers currently earn.
Forest Glen needs many improvements, school, playground and overall structural and cosmetic condition is very poor. We are rated below other schools in our district in overall condition. As a parents we can also see that we desperately need assistant teachers for over-populated classrooms, and additional help for our special needs children.
Our opinion as a concerned group of parents is to stop the spending on trips and family and friends. If the leadership wants to take lavish trips around the world, we only ask that they pay for it themselves, and to stop the hiring and overpaying of family and freinds. Please use the funds for our children, staff and school as it was meant to be. Parents of Forest Glen Close Quote
