Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 46205


Summary:

The 46205 zip code area of Indianapolis, Indiana is home to 6 elementary schools serving grades ranging from pre-K through 8th grade, including a mix of public district schools and public charter schools. The data reveals significant disparities in educational outcomes among these schools, with Center for Inquiry School 70 consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while the charter schools (Tindley Genesis Academy and Avondale Meadows Academy) have the lowest proficiency rates and highest chronic absenteeism rates.

The performance gap between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools is substantial, with Center for Inquiry School 70 outpacing the other schools by a wide margin in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. This disparity appears to be closely tied to the student racial makeup of the schools, with the schools serving the highest percentages of African American and Hispanic students generally performing the worst, suggesting that addressing racial and socioeconomic inequities may be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this community.

While the charter schools serve predominantly low-income, minority student populations, their performance raises questions about the effectiveness of the charter school model in this area, as they have the lowest proficiency rates and highest chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the spending per student varies across the schools, with the charter schools spending less per student than the public district schools, but the relationship between spending and performance is not straightforward, as the highest-performing school (Center for Inquiry School 70) is not the highest spender.
