Summary:
ZIP code 46250, on the northeast side of Indianapolis in Washington Township, is served by exactly one elementary school: Allisonville Elementary School, a K–5 building at 4900 E 79th St with 724 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, parents are not choosing between local options — the relevant comparison is how this school stacks up against its district, MSD Washington Township, and the state of Indiana. On both counts it performs well, and it has improved for three straight years.
Allisonville's state rank climbed from 330th of 1,011 schools (67th percentile) in 2023–24, to 305th of 1,005 (70th) in 2024–25, to 276th of 1,015 (73rd) in 2025–26 — a 54-position gain that carried it from 3 stars to a 4-star rating. That 73rd percentile standing is well above its own district's 57th percentile, so the school is outperforming the system it belongs to. In 2025–26 it beat the state average in all eight reported grade-and-subject combinations. Across all grades it reached 51.14% proficiency in English Language Arts (district 42.09%), 52.29% in math (district 43.07%), and 56.76% in science (district 41.38%, state 43.80%) — science being the standout, 15.38 points above the district.
Parents should know the softer spots too. Math is the only subject that slipped year over year (53.27% to 52.29%), and 5th-grade math (46.43%) has the narrowest margin over any benchmark. Third-grade ELA (43.31%) trails the school's own 4th and 5th grades by about 12 points. Chronic absenteeism, at 15.1%, is better than both the district (16.4%) and state (16.7%). With 33.43% of students on free/reduced lunch and per-student spending of $13,501, these results are not explained by an advantaged or unusually well-funded student body.
