Summary

Allisonville Elementary School is a K–5 school with 724 students at 4900 E 79th St on Indianapolis's northeast side, one of the larger elementaries in its area and part of MSD Washington Township, a mid-pack Indiana district. In 2025–26 the school ranked 276th of 1,015 Indiana schools — 73rd percentile, 4 stars — its best showing since 2021–22 and the third straight year of improvement (67th → 70th → 73rd percentile). It remains below its 2015–16 through 2018–19 plateau, when it sat between the 75th and 82nd percentile every year.

Proficiency sits comfortably above the district in every subject: 51.14 in English language arts versus 42.09, 52.29 in math versus 43.07, and 56.76 in science versus 41.38. The closest comparison is Clearwater Elementary School (0.89 miles away, same district), which leads by 5.2 points in ELA, 12.3 in math, and 2.8 in science despite higher poverty, a larger student–teacher ratio, and lower per-pupil spending. District-mate Nora Elementary School ranks in the 45th percentile, roughly 16 points behind in ELA, despite spending about $1,800 more per student. Allisonville also beats nearby MSD Lawrence Township schools — Mary Evelyn Castle Elementary School, Crestview Elementary School, and Skiles Test Elementary School — plus Robert Lee Frost School 106 - a STEM School, while Woodbrook Elementary School and Forest Dale Elementary School in Carmel Clay Schools rank higher.

Allisonville's signature strengths are science, social studies, and upper-grade reading, not math. Science runs 15.4 points above the district, and 5th-grade social studies runs 12.6 points above the state; math, by contrast, is only 2.4 to 4.4 points above the state at every tested grade. Third-grade reading is the thinnest margin at 2.5 points above state, and 5th-grade math is the weakest cell at 46.43 — still above district and state. Chronic absenteeism has beaten district and state every year but has drifted from 10.7% in 2021–22 to 15.1% in 2024–25, leaving little cushion.
