Summary

Robey Elementary School is a PK–6 school on the west side of Indianapolis serving 847 students as part of MSD Wayne Township. On Indiana's 2025–2026 accountability snapshot, it ranked 429th of 1,015 elementary schools — 58th percentile, 3 stars — while its district earned 1 star and placed 292nd of 374 districts (22nd percentile). Robey performs at a level the district as a whole does not reach.

Proficiency roughly doubles the district: 41.7% in ELA, 42.64% in Math and 46.09% in Science, versus district rates of 22.99%, 19.74% and 25.87%. It is the strongest of the four MSD Wayne schools in this group — North Wayne Elementary School (9th percentile), Chapel Glen Elementary School (4th) and Chapelwood Elementary School (22nd) trail by wide margins — and ranks third of eleven nearby schools. Attendance is a signature strength at 10.8% chronic absenteeism: the lowest in the district by nearly four points, less than half the district rate (22.1%) and below the state (16.7%). Poverty is moderate rather than extreme, with 54.3% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

The soft spots are early literacy and upper-grade math. Third-grade ELA (33.88% vs the state's 40.8) is the only reading grade below state level, while 5th grade math (27.88% vs 42) and 6th grade math (33.57% vs 40.2) lag substantially. All-grades math has fallen four straight years, from 47.3% to 42.64%, even as ELA held steady — a slide that lines up with the percentile dip from 61 to 58. The same 5th graders who struggle in math post 49.06% in Social Studies, which points to an instructional issue in upper-grade math rather than a cohort-wide one. Science, unusually, is a relative strength, beating the school's own reading and math. Nearby, Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4 (4 stars, 83rd percentile) and Crossroads Elementary School (5 stars, 97th) sit within three miles and outperform Robey by 15–30 points.
