Summary

Skiles Test Elementary School is a PK–6 school at 7001 Johnson Rd in Indianapolis, IN, serving 558 students as part of MSD Lawrence Township. For 2025–2026, it ranks 774th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 24th percentile, with 1 star — while its district sits at the 30th percentile with 2 stars. That is still well below average, but it marks real progress: the school climbed from the 9th percentile and 0 stars in 2022–2023.

Academically, Skiles Test trails its district and state. In 2025–2026 all-grade ILEARN results, 27.74% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 26.28% in Math, and 25.60% in Science, compared with district rates of 31.78%, 32.00%, and 28.15%. Results vary a lot by grade. Fourth-grade ELA is a bright spot at 37.7%, above the district's 31.61%. The biggest concerns are upper grades: 6th-grade Math is at 14.06%, 5th-grade Math at 20.78%, and 5th- and 6th-grade ELA at 23.38% and 25%. Among nearby schools, Crestview Elementary School (0.82 miles away) and Mary Evelyn Castle Elementary School serve similar poverty levels but post much higher proficiency, while Brook Park Elementary School, Harrison Hill Elementary School, and Robert Lee Frost School 106 - a STEM School score lower.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 12.6% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 19.3% and the state's 16.7%, and lower than most nearby schools except Forest Glen Elementary School and Castle. About 59.68% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $12,588 with a student–teacher ratio of 16.4 — mid-range locally, so resources don't appear to be the main explanation for lower scores.
