Summary

James A Allison Elementary School 3 is a K–6 school serving 249 students in Speedway, Indiana, a small town just outside Indianapolis, and it is part of the School Town of Speedway. In 2025–2026 it ranked 48th out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 95th percentile, with 5 stars — making it the highest-ranked elementary school in its district.

Academics are the main story. In 2025–2026, 75.47% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 71.7% in math, both above the district averages of 62.84% and 62.21%. Among Speedway elementaries, Allison leads in ELA and math, ahead of Arthur C Newby Elementary School 2, Carl G Fisher Elementary School 1 and Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4; only Fisher edges ahead in science, 66.67% versus 64.71%. The contrast with nearby Indianapolis Public Schools and charter schools is much wider — nearby other-district ELA proficiency ranged from 4.43% to 57.76%, and math from 11.31% to 62.64%. Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism was 0.7%, compared with 6.4% district-wide and 16.7% statewide, and far below schools such as Lew Wallace School 107 - an Exploratory School at 17.0% and Meredith Nicholson School 96 - an Exploratory School at 21.2%.

Allison produces these results with 68.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending of $13,392 (below Fisher's $16,534 and much lower than several nearby IPS schools), and a student–teacher ratio of 14, the highest among its close comparison schools. The clearest watch point is 5th grade math at 43.48%, below the district's 58% and same-district peers, though still above the state's 42%; with only 249 students, a single grade's results can swing from one cohort to the next. The long-term trend is strongly upward, from 452nd of 1,031 in 2018–2019 to 48th of 1,015 today.
