Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 701 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Perry Township Schools district, which is ranked 234 out of 380 districts in the state.

Rosa Parks Elementary has shown consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 37% to 59% over the past few years. While this is generally higher than the district-wide averages, the school's performance is mixed compared to the state-level averages. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11% to 25%. Additionally, a high percentage of students, between 54% and 59%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status among the student population.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Perry Township district, Douglas MacArthur, Abraham Lincoln, and Glenns Valley, Rosa Parks generally outperforms them academically. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Center Grove Community School Corporation, such as North Grove and Pleasant Grove, Rosa Parks' performance lags behind by 10-20 percentage points in proficiency rates.
