Summary

Snacks Crossing Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 5455 W 56th St in Indianapolis, serving 793 students as part of MSD Pike Township, a district ranked 281st of 374 in Indiana. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 861st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 15th percentile, with 1 star. That is still bottom-tier statewide, but it is the best position in its recent history: the school sat at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars in 2022–2023 and the 9th percentile in 2023–2024.

Academically, proficiency is low but improving. All-grades rates in 2025–2026 were 21.74% in English language arts, 19.9% in math and 22.64% in science, below the district's 28.25%, 23% and 23.34%. Compared with state benchmarks the gaps are larger — for example, 3rd grade math was 22.08% at the school versus 51.9% statewide. Among same-district peers, Eagle Creek Elementary School and Guion Creek Elementary School post rates around 34–39% with 2 stars, while Deer Run Elementary and Central Elementary School are closer to Snacks Crossing. Fourth grade ELA (33.96%) is a relative bright spot, above the district's 32.39%; 5th grade is weakest, with 18.42% in ELA and 15.79% in math.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern: 23.8% in 2024–2025, against 19.5% districtwide and 16.7% statewide, and the highest among nearby schools (Eagle Creek 9.4%, Guion Creek 10.7%, Central 14.7%). Snacks Crossing is also the largest nearby Pike elementary, has the highest student-teacher ratio among same-district peers (21.8) and the lowest per-student spending ($10,562). Its free/reduced lunch rate fell to 40.86%, lower than many nearby schools — including IN Math & Science Academy at 72.02% yet with much higher proficiency — suggesting poverty alone does not explain the results. Absenteeism has improved from 27.3%, and science and social studies scores jumped, so momentum exists.

You will not find a school where the teachers care more. There are many after school opportunities for students and the school day is jam packed win activities the students love. My granddaughter looked forward to every moment! Close Quote
