Summary:
ZIP code 46268 has four elementary schools — Central Elementary School, Eastbrook Elementary School, College Park Elementary School and New Augusta Public Academy - South — all in MSD Pike Township in Indianapolis, serving about 2,164 students in kindergarten through 5th grade (Eastbrook also serves prekindergarten). The district ranks 281st of 374 in Indiana, at the 25th percentile with 1 star, and all four schools carry that same 1-star rating. Free or reduced-price lunch rates are high and very similar across the schools (53% to 56%), so economic disadvantage is a shared context here rather than a difference between them.
New Augusta Public Academy - South stands out: it is the highest-ranked of the four (757 of 1,015, 25th percentile), has the lowest chronic absenteeism (12.6%, better than the district's 19.5% and the state's 16.7%), the strongest all-grade math (33.78%) and 5th-grade social studies (40.28%), plus the smallest enrollment (437) and lowest student-teacher ratio (14.0) — though its reading (ELA) results trail the district. Central Elementary is the largest school (634 students) and the biggest spender ($15,524 per student), with solid math (28.63%) but 3rd-grade ELA of just 12.22%. Eastbrook has the best science (24.14%). College Park has the highest ELA (25.98%) but the lowest rank (16th percentile), lowest math (19.57%), lowest science (12.24%) and highest absenteeism (18.3%).
A few patterns are worth knowing. Math is a relative bright spot — three of the four schools beat the district's 23% in all-grade math — while all four fall below the district in ELA, and every school scored below the state in every reported grade-level subject. All four improved their rank from 2024–25 to 2025–26, yet they remain in the bottom quartile statewide. Spending does not track with results: the top-ranked school spends $14,307 per student, while the lowest-ranked spends the least ($12,831).
