Summary

New Augusta Public Academy - South is a K–5 elementary school in the MSD Pike Township district on the northwest side of Indianapolis, serving 437 students. For 2025–2026 it is ranked 757 of 1015 Indiana elementary schools — about the 25th percentile with 1 star — while its district ranks 281 of 374 districts statewide.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Math is the clearest strength: 33.78% of students passed the all-grade math test, well above the district's 23.00%, and the school beat the district in every tested math grade. Fifth-grade social studies (40.28%) is the highest among the same-district Pike peers, ahead of Guion Creek Elementary School at 39.60% and far above Central Elementary School at 24.14% and Snacks Crossing Elementary School at 22.37%. Among Pike elementaries, New Augusta Public Academy - South ranks second overall, behind only Guion Creek Elementary School (2 stars). Reading and science are the weak spots: ELA is 23.56% versus the district's 28.25% and state benchmarks near 41–42%, and every ELA grade level trails both; science is 22.58%, near the bottom among Pike peers. Every tested subject sits below the state average.

Other measures are encouraging. Chronic absenteeism fell to 12.6%, better than the district (19.5%) and state (16.7%) and third-best among Pike peers. The student-teacher ratio of 14.0 is the lowest among the listed Pike schools, and spending is $14,307 per student. However, nearby schools outside the district — Girls IN STEM Academy (4 stars), Fox Hill Elementary School, and Crooked Creek Elementary School — post much higher ELA, math, and science results. New Augusta South outperforms Willow Lake Elementary School in math and Indiana Connections Academy K-6 in most areas. The school is improving but remains in the bottom quartile.
