Summary

Sunny Heights Elementary School is a K–4 school in the 46229 area of Indianapolis, IN, serving 485 students in MSD Warren Township. In 2025–2026, it ranked 835th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (18th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranked 315th of 374 (16th percentile, 1 star). That is the school's best showing in the available history, up from 5th–6th percentile in 2021–22 and 2022–23, though it still lands in the bottom fifth of the state.

All-grade 2025–26 proficiency was 24.86% ELA, 28.73% Math, and 13.51% Science. Within its Warren cluster, Sunny Heights has the lowest ELA, Math, and Science proficiency and the lowest rank percentile of the five nearby K–4 schools; Pleasant Run Elementary School, Eastridge Elementary School, Lakeside Elementary School, and Brookview Elementary School all outperform it in all three subjects. It is above the district average in ELA (24.86% vs. 24.64%) and Math (28.73% vs. 21.67%) but below it in Science (13.51% vs. 17.43%). Sunny Heights also has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate among those same-district peers (63.71%) and spends more per pupil than most of them, so its lower scores are not explained by higher poverty or thinner resources. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell to 13.9% in 2024–25, below the district's 21.4% and the state's 16.7%, down from 42.4% in 2020–21.

The grade-level picture shows a sharp split. Third grade is competitive — above the district in ELA and Math and within the range of same-district peers — but 4th grade falls below every same-district peer in ELA, Math, and Science. Math drops from 36.45% in 3rd grade to 17.57% in 4th, and ELA from 28.97% to 18.92%; 4th-grade Science (13.51%) is far below the state's 43.8%. Science is the weakest subject overall. The school is improving — ELA rose from 10.98% in 2022–23 to 24.86% and Math from 19.08% to 28.73% — but 4th-grade math, ELA, and science remain the most urgent priorities.
