Summary:

ZIP code 46225 in Indianapolis has four schools—two elementary schools serving grades K–8 or PK–8 and two high schools serving grades 9–12—with a combined enrollment of about 2,206 students. High schools enroll 1,520 students (68.9%), while elementary schools enroll 686 (31.1%); Christel House DORS alone has 1,062 students, nearly half the ZIP’s enrollment. The other schools are Christel House Academy South, Christel House Watanabe Manual High School, and James A. Garfield School 31 - a STEM School.

Outcomes vary sharply. Christel House DORS ranks at the bottom: 0th percentile, 0 stars, a 29.0% graduation rate, 82.0% chronic absenteeism, and 0% SAT proficiency in ELA and Math. By contrast, Christel House Watanabe Manual High School has the ZIP’s strongest high-school outcome—a 91.1% graduation rate, slightly above Indiana’s 89.7%—though its SAT proficiency remains below state: 34.55% ELA and 8.18% Math. Christel House Academy South improved modestly in ELA and Science but remains low overall, while James A. Garfield School 31 - a STEM School spends the most per student ($23,449) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (6.8) yet saw sharp 2025–2026 proficiency declines and a rank drop from 34th percentile/2 stars to 11th percentile/1 star.

Every school exceeds the state chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7%, from 36.0% at Christel House Academy South and 36.5% at Christel House Watanabe Manual High School to 41.7% at James A. Garfield School 31 - a STEM School and 82.0% at Christel House DORS. No reported comparable test area reached the state proficiency level, and per-student spending ranges widely from $5,319 at Christel House DORS to $23,449 at James A. Garfield School 31 - a STEM School. District rankings are also low: Christel House DORS is 374 of 374, Christel House Academy South is 333 of 374, and Indianapolis Public Schools is 316 of 374. The main story is contrast: one high school posts a strong graduation rate, one is at the bottom on most measures, and the two elementary schools face low proficiency and high absenteeism in different ways.
