Summary:
The 46219 zip code area in Indianapolis is home to three elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, George W Julian School 57 stands out as the highest-performing school in the group, with stronger academic outcomes and a higher statewide ranking compared to the other two schools, Pleasant Run Elementary School and Hawthorne Elementary School.
George W Julian School 57 has a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the group, and outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. The school serves a more racially diverse student population, with a better balance of White, Black, and Hispanic students compared to the other two schools. However, all three schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages in the communities they serve.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all three schools, ranging from 15.1% at Pleasant Run Elementary to 29.8% at Hawthorne Elementary. This likely contributes to the overall low academic performance, which is significantly below the MSD Warren Township and Indianapolis Public Schools district averages. Addressing attendance issues and providing targeted interventions and resources should be a priority for these schools to help close the achievement gaps.
