Summary:

The 46254 zip code area in Indianapolis, Indiana is home to 7 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the MSD Pike Township district, except for one public charter school, IN Math & Science Academy.

Among the schools, IN Math & Science Academy stands out with the highest test scores across all subjects and grade levels, ranking 388th out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools. Guion Creek Elementary School and Eagle Creek Elementary School also perform well, outpacing the district and state averages in most areas.

However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools. For example, in 3rd grade math, IN Math & Science Academy had 72.92% proficiency, while Jonathan Jennings School 109 had only 16.28% proficiency. Additionally, all schools in the area struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to the lower academic performance across the board.
