Summary

Maplewood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the MSD Wayne Township district in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 640 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools over the past 10 years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maplewood Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates reaching up to 31.3%, well above the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency scores in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are also far below the district and state levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16.37% of Maplewood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 21.87% for the district and 40.3% statewide. The school's math proficiency rate was also low at 18.89%, compared to 19.55% for the district and 51.5% statewide. Additionally, Maplewood has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching up to 87.34% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Maplewood Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Westlake Elementary and McClelland Elementary, the data shows that these schools perform significantly better on academic proficiency measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the challenges at Maplewood. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism, low academic proficiency, and high economic disadvantage through targeted interventions and increased support may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Maplewood Elementary School.
