Summary

Greenbriar Elementary School is a K–5 school at 8201 N Ditch Rd in Indianapolis, Indiana, enrolling 509 students as part of MSD Washington Township on the city's north side. In 2025–2026, Greenbriar ranked 747th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 26th percentile, with 1 star — while its district ranked 159th of 374, the 57th percentile with 3 stars. In other words, this is a lower-performing school inside an above-average district, and it has held a 1-star rating across all the years listed, moving from the 14th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 26th percentile now.

Proficiency trails the district in every subject: ELA 24.32% versus 42.09%, math 37.84% versus 43.07%, and science 26.51% versus 41.38%. Math is the relative strength and has improved, rising from 28.69% in 2022–2023, while ELA has stayed essentially flat and the gap to the district has widened. Fifth grade is the clearest weak spot — 20.48% in ELA, 30.12% in math, and 27.71% in social studies — while 3rd grade math, at 43.96%, is a bright spot. Among same-district peers, Greenbriar posts the lowest ELA score, behind Fox Hill Elementary School (40.56%), Crooked Creek Elementary School (36.94%), Nora Elementary School (35.25%), Spring Mill Elementary School (39.69%), and Willow Lake Elementary School (31.23%).

The standout difference is attendance. Greenbriar's chronic absenteeism was 23.9%, against 16.4% district-wide and 16.7% statewide — higher than every same-district nearby school, including Crooked Creek at 9.0%, Nora at 14.3%, Willow Lake at 17.2%, Fox Hill at 17.7%, and Spring Mill at 20.0%. Notably, Spring Mill serves a higher share of students from low-income families (57.47% free/reduced lunch versus 54.62%) yet achieves higher ELA and math scores with better attendance, and Greenbriar's own resources look competitive: $14,175 per student and a 13.7 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among its same-district peers. For families, the data suggests attendance and classroom support — not funding or class size — are where change is most needed. For a high-performing contrast nearby, Towne Meadow Elementary School in Carmel Clay posts proficiency rates in the 70s and 80s with 5 stars.

I withdrew my child halfway through the year because no one took bullying seriously. Out of 27 students in my child's class 24 relentlessly bullied him. Close Quote

The enrollment numbers are inadequate. This school is nearly 900 students and is bursting at the seams. The student/teacher ratio is much too high for quality learning. Close Quote
