Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Perry Township Schools in Indianapolis, IN, serving 658 students. The district ranks 244th of 374 in Indiana (35th percentile, 2 stars), and Rosa Parks ranked 599th of 1,015 schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 41st percentile with 2 stars.

The biggest thing for parents to know is that the school has lost ground over time. In 2018–2019, Rosa Parks ranked 116th of 1,031 (89th percentile, 4 stars); by 2025–2026 it had fallen to 599th of 1,015 (41st percentile, 2 stars). ELA and math proficiency have both declined since 2022–2023. Results are uneven by subject: in 2025–2026, all-grade math (40.42%) and science (40.77%) were above the Perry district averages (34.40% and 31.52%), while English language arts (32.28%) was slightly below the district (34.41%). Third grade is the clearest weak spot, with ELA at 21.62% and math at 28.83%, both well below district and state. Fourth-grade math is a bright spot at 53.08%, just above the state's 52.00%. Among nearby schools, Rosa Parks outperforms Abraham Lincoln Elementary School and the MSD Decatur Township schools but trails William Henry Burkhart Elementary, Douglas MacArthur Elementary School, and the Center Grove Community School Corp schools North Grove Elementary School and Pleasant Grove Elementary School.

Attendance is a genuine strength: 9.9% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, versus 20.4% for the district and 16.7% for the state. But that rate has roughly doubled from 4.9% in 2020–2021, and the companion Rosa Parks Kindergarten reports 14.2%. Per-student spending of $11,392 and a student/teacher ratio of 15.3 are typical for the area and don't explain the performance gaps. The most urgent priorities for families to watch are early literacy and math — especially third grade — and attendance from kindergarten upward.
