Summary

Eastwood Middle School is a grades 6–8 school of 845 students at 4401 E 62nd St in Indianapolis, part of MSD Washington Township. In 2025‑26 it ranked 107th of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 78th percentile with 4 stars — its best placement in the decade of history available. That caps a sharp V‑shaped recovery: Eastwood fell to the 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2021‑22, then climbed 133 rank positions in two years back to roughly its pre‑pandemic peak.

Eastwood now beats both its district and the state in every reported subject and grade on ILEARN. Its standout is 7th‑grade math at 53.47% proficient, 17.6 points above the state. Within its own district, Northview Middle School matches Eastwood almost exactly in English (47.3%), but Eastwood leads by 5.2 points in math, 6.8 in science, and 4 points in attendance — while spending $13,435 per student versus Northview's $15,306 and Westlane Middle School's $15,840. Chronic absenteeism is 15.3%, below both district and state. Most other nearby middle schools — among them Broad Ripple Middle School - an IB World School, Belzer Middle School, and Avondale Meadows Middle School — sit in the bottom quartile with 1 star, proficiency roughly half Eastwood's, and absenteeism of 26–42%.

A few caveats are worth noting. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch fell from about 52% to 37.5%, so some gains may reflect a changing student mix; 8th‑grade math (40.75%) is the internal soft spot; and the Biology end‑of‑course figure comes from a small, self‑selected group. Eastwood's aspirational benchmark is Riverside Junior High in Hamilton Southeastern Schools, 5.7 miles away, at the 99th percentile — a useful ceiling as Eastwood continues its upswing.
