Summary

Allen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 405 students in grades PK-4 in Marion, Indiana, which is part of the Marion Community Schools district.

While Allen Elementary has higher per-student spending than the state average, it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state on academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.53% of Allen students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 20.78% for the district and 40.3-41.4% statewide. In math, 24.79% of Allen students were proficient, compared to 23.06% for the district and 49.2-51.5% statewide. Additionally, Allen Elementary has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 37.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Allen Elementary to other schools in the Marion Community Schools district, it is clear that Allen is the lowest-performing. Schools like John W. Kendall Elementary and Riverview Elementary have significantly higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. This suggests that the issues at Allen Elementary may be systemic within the Marion district, and addressing the underlying challenges of student engagement, resource allocation, and overall school climate will be crucial for improving outcomes.
