Summary:

ZIP code 46222 on Indianapolis's west side contains 14 schools serving roughly 4,761 students: seven elementary and K–8 schools, four high schools, three alternative programs, and no standalone middle school. Enrollment ranges from 50 students at Impact Academy 3 to 729 at George Washington High School, with a median of 278. Indianapolis Public Schools operates seven of the 14, including Cold Spring School, Clarence Farrington School 61, Ernie Pyle School 90, and Impact Academy 1; the rest are charter or alternative networks such as Matchbook Learning, The PATH School, Christel House Academy West, Allegiant Preparatory Academy, the Excel Centers, and Indianapolis Metropolitan High School.

Among K–8 schools, Allegiant Preparatory Academy posts the strongest English/language arts and science results (32.61% ELA, 30.77% science) and the best attendance among non-alternative schools, with 14.9% chronic absenteeism—below the state rate of 16.7%. Cold Spring School has the top K–8 math score (30.63%) and the highest rank percentile in the ZIP at 28%, though it slipped from 38% the prior year. Christel House Academy West improved its ranking from 951st to 852nd. At the other end, Matchbook Learning, the largest K–8 with 707 students, has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (96.32%) and very low proficiency (8.17% ELA, 9.72% math).

High school outcomes are weaker still: George Washington graduates 60.1% of students, with 7.97% SAT ERW and 2.17% SAT math, against Indiana's 89.7% graduation rate. Attendance separates schools sharply—Allegiant and Ernie Pyle School 90 are both under 20%, while George Washington is at 53.3%, Indianapolis Metropolitan at 79.7%, and Excel Center - Muncie and Excel Center - Richmond at 98.6% and 99.7%. The three Impact Academy campuses report 1.1 to 2.2 students per teacher and 0.0% chronic absenteeism, but their results rest on tiny test-taking populations and several 2025–2026 values were suppressed, so they should be read with caution. No school here earned more than one star in the latest rankings.
