Summary

Mary Bryan Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 644 students on Indianapolis's south side at 4355 E Stop 11 Rd, part of Perry Township Schools, and it's the largest school in its immediate peer group. Its headline story is a long, steady slide: it ranked in the 66th percentile statewide with 3 stars in 2015-16 but sits at the 35th percentile with 2 stars in 2025-26, falling from the 61st to the 35th percentile over the last seven reported years. 75.31% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school spends $12,623 per student with a 15.1:1 student-teacher ratio.

Academically, results are mixed. Mary Bryan beats its own district in math (41.1% vs. 34.4%) and science (39.4% vs. 31.5%) but trails it in English language arts (29.5% vs. 34.4%), and it is below the state in every reported grade and subject — beating a low-performing district is not the same as meeting the state bar. Science is quietly improving, from 27.78% in 2022-23 to 39.42% in 2025-26, while ELA slid from 41.01% to 29.45% over the same window, so the ranking decline is mostly an ELA story. One puzzle worth asking about: grade 4 math is the school's strongest result at 49.04%, but grade 5 math collapses to 29.84% — a 19-point drop in one year.

The standout strength is attendance: at 10.4%, chronic absenteeism is less than half the district's 20.4% rate and well under the state's 16.7%, second-best among Perry peers behind only Southport Elementary School (8.8%), while Clinton Young Elementary School runs 21.8%. Mary Bryan also posts district-beating math and science while serving a smaller share of high-poverty students than Southport, Clinton Young or Winchester Village Elementary. The most instructive comparison is Greenwood Northeast Elementary School, where poverty (74.55%) is nearly identical yet it posts ELA 48.0%, math 56.1% and science 58.5% while spending less ($11,175 vs. $12,623). Higher spending hasn't been the lever here: per-student funding rose 21% from 2020-21 to 2023-24 while results fell.
