Summary

Speedway Senior High School is a public school serving about 602 students in grades 9–12 at 5357 W 25th St in Speedway, Indiana — a small town surrounded by Indianapolis — and it is the high school of the School Town of Speedway, a small independent district that ranks 16th of 374 Indiana districts (96th percentile, 5 stars). On the 2025-26 state ranking it places 58th of 415 Indiana high schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), a step down from six straight years at 5 stars (91st–93rd percentile from 2020-21 through 2024-25).

Outcomes are the school's calling card. Its graduation rate was 99.1% in 2024-25, versus 89.7% statewide; only Ben Davis University High School (99.0%) comes close locally, while Herron-Riverside High School (83.8%) and George Washington High School (60.1%) trail well behind. Chronic absenteeism is 8.0%, roughly half the state's 16.7%, compared with 29.4% at Herron-Riverside, 37.5% at Ben Davis High School, and 53.3% at George Washington. On 2025-26 tests, Speedway is above the state in both SAT subjects — 30.82% proficient in math (state 25.6%) and 56.85% in reading/writing (state 51.9%) — and its Biology ILEARN result of 65.33% is the highest in the comparison set.

About 56% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the school's results for those students are exceptional: 9th of 390 statewide (98th percentile, 5 stars) for low-income students and 9th of 292 (97th percentile, 5 stars) for special education students in 2025-26. It achieves this on $12,926 per pupil — less than most neighbors; George Washington spends nearly double that with a 60.1% graduation rate. One watch item is a four-year slide in SAT math (47.06% → 44.17% → 40.88% → 30.82%), and several nearby schools are alternative or dropout-recovery programs whose numbers reflect mission rather than a like-for-like comparison.

Was a great school. The new vice principal likes to pick on kids and not pick everything. I took my son out and put in k12. So much better. We have a lawsuit pending Close Quote
