Summary

Pleasant Run Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 523 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the MSD Warren Township school district, which is ranked 319 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having relatively high per-student spending, Pleasant Run Elementary School is facing significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.9% to 25.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Lakeside Elementary (17.8%) and Hawthorne Elementary (17.8%). Additionally, Pleasant Run Elementary's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 19.82% of all grades proficient or better in English Language Arts and 34.23% in math.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that Pleasant Run Elementary is underperforming academically, despite having similar demographic and resource characteristics. This suggests that there may be specific challenges or issues within the school that are contributing to its underperformance. Addressing these issues, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates, will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both school-level and district-level factors.
