Achievement depends heavily on the comparison. Within its own district, Raymond Park leads Stonybrook Intermediate & Middle and Creston Intermediate & Middle in math (19.57% vs. 14.46% and 13.37%) and roughly doubles their science proficiency (22.04% vs. 8.82% and 10.77%), while ELA is close (23.19% vs. 24.69% and 22.70%). Against the state, however, the gaps are large and consistent: the school runs roughly 17–23 points below Indiana averages across ELA, math, science, and 5th-grade social studies. Several nearby schools post higher core proficiency, including Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate, Edgewood Intermediate School, Beech Grove Middle School, Franklin Central Junior High, and Paramount Englewood, while Thomas Carr Howe Middle School - an IB World School trails it.
Trends are moving in a positive direction. Chronic absenteeism fell from 75.2% in 2020–2021 to 18.8% in 2024–2025 — better than the district average of 21.4%, but above the state's 16.7% and well above Kitley (12.4%) and Edgewood (9.4%). Proficiency has also risen since 2022–2023 in math, ELA, science, and social studies. Middle-grade math remains the weakest area, sliding from 23.47% in 5th grade to 16.54% in 8th. Per-student spending was $12,851 in 2023–2024 — more than Kitley ($7,677) or Edgewood ($7,443), which achieve stronger results — with a student-teacher ratio of 16.0. About 60.06% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, down from 71.95% two years earlier.
