Summary

Chapel Glen Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Indianapolis serving 843 students as part of MSD Wayne Township, a district ranked 292nd of 374 Indiana districts (22nd percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, Chapel Glen Elementary School ranked 978th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 4th percentile, with 0 stars. That continues a long slide: the school was at the 28th percentile in 2015–2016, 18th in 2020–2021, and 4th in 2025–2026, with 0 stars in each of the last three reported years.

Academically, Chapel Glen has the lowest all-grade proficiency of every nearby school compared: ELA 9.72%, Math 9.03%, and Science 10.73%. Same-district peers do far better even with more poverty: McClelland Elementary School (69.34% free/reduced lunch) reaches 38.28% ELA and 41.04% Math, Chapelwood Elementary School (69.46% free/reduced lunch) reaches 22.75% and 26.73%, and Bridgeport Elementary School and Westlake Elementary School also outperform Chapel Glen. Nearby schools in other districts do better still — Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4 at 52.30% ELA, Sycamore Elementary School at 62.33%, Arthur C Newby Elementary School 2 at 63.71%, and Carl G Fisher Elementary School 1 at 69.23% — even though Wheeler and Newby serve similar or higher shares of low-income students. Grade-level results show the deepest problems in upper elementary: 5th grade Math at 0.86%, 6th grade Science at 5.56%, 6th grade Math at 5.50%, and single-digit ELA in grades 5 and 6.

Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 29.1% in 2020–2021 to 17.9% in 2024–2025, now below the district's 22.1%. Yet scores kept falling over that period, suggesting attendance alone is not the main lever. Resources are thinner too — $11,712 per student (2023–2024), the lowest among nearby schools, with a 16.8 student-teacher ratio. Still, spending does not explain everything: Sycamore spends only slightly more ($11,934) yet far outperforms. The most urgent priorities are grades 5–6 Math, Science, and ELA.
