Summary:
ZIP code 46205 contains just one middle school in this data set — Avondale Meadows Middle School, a grades 5–8 school with 192 students at 3980 Meadows Dr in Indianapolis, where the school and its district, Avondale Meadows Middle School, share the same name. Because there is no other local middle school to compare it with, the most useful benchmarks are Indiana state averages, the school's own prior-year results, and its statewide ranking history.
Academically, the school is below state averages in every grade-level subject, though some areas are improving. All-grades science rose from 14.29% to 25.71% proficient, 5th-grade social studies climbed from 16% to 29.17%, and all-grades English language arts went from 16.24% to 21.3%. Math barely moved, from 10.61% to 10.65%. The strongest grade-level result is 7th-grade ELA at 33.33%, still short of the state's 41.7%, while 5th-grade math (6.25% vs. 42%) and 8th-grade math (7.5% vs. 34.2%) show the widest gaps. Math is clearly the most urgent concern.
The school serves a high-need population: 95.31% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 28.6%, compared with 16.7% statewide — about 1.7 times the state rate. Per-student spending was $13,343 in 2023–2024, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.7. Statewide, the school ranked 308 of 374 schools at the 18th percentile with 1 star, moving from the 12th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 21st percentile in 2025–2026 — progress, but still within the bottom quartile.
