Summary

Grassy Creek Elementary School is a K–4 school in Indianapolis, IN, serving 516 students as part of MSD Warren Township. In 2025–2026, it ranks 887th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (13th percentile, 1 star)—a sharp fall from 303rd of 1,031 (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2018–2019. Its 2025–2026 ILEARN proficiency is ELA 19.9%, math 25.13%, and science 12.77%. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, free/reduced lunch is 58.91%, per-student spending is $11,977, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.9.

Among eight nearby same-district elementary schools, Grassy Creek has the lowest 2025–2026 rank. Its math proficiency (25.13%) is the lowest among those peers, whose average is 34.6%. Science is also the lowest at 12.77%, versus a peer average of 21.9% and a state 4th-grade science rate of 43.8%. ELA is 19.9%, below the peer average of 28.1%. Chronic absenteeism (17.3%) is above the peer average (14.3%) and the state rate (16.7%). Grassy Creek has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate in its same-district peer group (58.91% vs. 68.2% average) but also the lowest per-student spending ($11,977 vs. $13,168). By contrast, Sugar Creek Elementary School in New Palestine Community Schools posts 50.98% ELA, 54.9% math, and 44.44% science, with 7.4% chronic absenteeism and 27.56% free/reduced lunch, while spending less ($10,453) and having a higher student–teacher ratio (17.4). Some same-district peers show improvement is possible: Lowell Elementary School and Brookview Elementary School reached 37th percentile and 2 stars.

Key takeaways: the school’s long-term decline is dramatic, though math has improved from 18.08% in 2022–2023 to 25.13% in 2025–2026, still the lowest among same-district peers. Science is the clearest red flag. Attendance has improved from 33.8% in 2020–2021 to 17.3% in 2024–2025, but remains above the state and most nearby same-district schools. Lower poverty here does not translate into higher outcomes, and spending is the lowest among peers. Grade-level results show uneven performance: 3rd-grade ELA is 15.69%, 4th-grade ELA 24.47%, 3rd-grade math 29.41%, 4th-grade math 20.43%, and 4th-grade science 12.77%. Grassy Creek remains at or near the bottom of its nearby same-district peer group, with large gaps to peers and the state, especially in science.
