Summary

Lowell Elementary School is a K–4 school in the MSD Warren Township district in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 466 students — a larger enrollment than its same-district neighbors Liberty Park Elementary School (443) and Hawthorne Elementary School (404). The district as a whole ranks 315th of 374 Indiana districts (16th percentile, 1 star), while Lowell itself ranks 636th of 1,015 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (37th percentile, 2 stars) — an improvement from 710th (29th percentile, 1 star) the year before, though still below the state median and slightly below its 2023–2024 mark.

About 72.53% of Lowell students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, more than at Liberty Park or Hawthorne, and per-student spending was $12,774 in 2023–2024 — lower than both peers — with a student–teacher ratio of 14.8. Despite that, Lowell outperforms its district in every core subject and beats both same-district peers in ELA, Math, and Science. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 14.8% in 2024–2025, below the district's 21.4% and the state's 16.7%, down from 38.3% in 2020–2021. Among nearby schools, only Hornet Park Elementary School (13.1%) was lower, and that school serves PK–1.

Math is Lowell's relative strength: All Grades proficiency was 40.1%, versus 34.65% in ELA and 34.69% in Science. Still, grade-level results trail state benchmarks — 3rd-grade Math 36.54% vs. 51.9% state, 4th-grade ELA 37.76% vs. 42.2%, and 4th-grade Science 34.69% vs. 43.8%. Compared with nearby schools, Lowell's results are more balanced than Victory College Prep Elementary School (higher Math at 50.79% but lower ELA and Science) and generally stronger than Ralph Waldo Emerson School 58, Christian Park School 82, Irvington Community Elementary School, and Central Intermediate School. George W. Julian School 57 posts much higher proficiency, but serves a lower-poverty population with far more spending per student.
