Summary

Grassy Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in the MSD Warren Township school district in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 473 students, the school has historically struggled, ranking in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools in recent years.

Grassy Creek Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores across all subjects and grade levels, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.76% of Grassy Creek students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.3% statewide, and just 19.9% were proficient in math, compared to 51.5% statewide. The school's performance has declined over time, going from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 0-star rating in the most recent years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the MSD Warren Township district, such as Lowell Elementary and Brookview Elementary, Grassy Creek Elementary stands out as the lowest-performing school, with significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores. Addressing the challenges facing Grassy Creek Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the root causes of the school's struggles.
