Summary:
The 46227 zip code area in Indianapolis is home to 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Perry Township Schools district. While the district is ranked 234 out of 380 in Indiana and has a 2-star rating, a few schools stand out as performing better than others.
Douglas MacArthur Elementary School and William Henry Burkhart Elementary both rank in the top 400 elementary schools in Indiana and have 3-star ratings, significantly outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Meanwhile, Southport Elementary School also manages to outperform the district and state in many areas, particularly in Math.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the schools in this area. Many struggle with test scores well below state averages, likely due to the high poverty levels, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 48.21% to 88.26%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with all schools reporting rates significantly higher than the state average. The district's resource allocation also appears uneven, with spending per student varying widely from $3,606 to over $12,000 and student-teacher ratios ranging from 2.5 to 24.1.
