Summary

Clinton Young Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the Perry Township Schools district, located at 5740 McFarland Rd in Indianapolis and enrolling 595 students. In 2025–26 it ranked 923 of 1015 Indiana elementary schools (9th percentile, 0 stars), below its own district's average, and this is not a one-year dip: from 2015–16 through 2024–25 the school ranged from 823 to 940 in state rank, landing between the 8th and 19th percentile almost every year. About 80% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, per-student spending was $12,861, and chronic absenteeism was 21.8% — improved from 32.4% in 2022–23, but still above the district (20.4%) and state (16.7%). In 2025–26, all-grade proficiency was 11.41% in ELA, 22.22% in math, and 12.75% in science, with 5th grade social studies at 24.76%.

Compared with other Perry Township elementaries nearby, Clinton Young has the lowest ELA, math, and science proficiency of the group. Jeremiah Gray Elementary School, 1.2 miles away and nearly the same size, scores 19.57% in ELA, 32.11% in math, and 34.04% in science. Homecroft Elementary School, Mary Bryan Elementary School, and Southport Elementary School all post higher proficiency too. The Southport comparison is striking: it has a slightly higher low-income rate (82.00%) and spends a little less per student, yet reaches 34.75% in ELA, 45.56% in math, and 44.05% in science — while its chronic absenteeism is only 8.8%. William Henry Burkhart Elementary shows what is possible in the same district: 47.31% ELA, 52.51% math, 47.89% science, and a 3-star, 68th-percentile rank.

Results vary by grade. Fourth grade ELA was 6.86% proficient, the school's lowest result, and 4th grade science was 12.75%; 3rd grade ELA was 12% and 5th grade ELA 15.09%. Math was comparatively stronger but still low (roughly 19.81% to 23.53% across grades), and all-grade ELA and math have declined over the past three years. The clearest bright spot is 5th grade social studies, which rose from 7.58% in 2023–24 to 8% in 2024–25 to 24.76% in 2025–26. Attendance has also improved, though it remains the highest among the same-district comparison schools.
