Summary:
ZIP code 46268 is served by a single high school, Pike High School, which educates students in grades 9–12 at 5401 W 71st St in Indianapolis as part of the MSD Pike Township district. With 3,188 students, it is a large comprehensive high school and the only high-school option within the ZIP code, so its results define the entire high-school picture for the area. There are no other high schools in 46268 to compare it against.
Pike High School's profile is mixed. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 90.8% is slightly above the statewide 89.7%, and the district rate matches the school exactly. At the same time, the school ranks 310 of 415 in 2025–2026, placing it in the 25th percentile with 1 star — and its relative standing has slipped over three years, from the 32nd percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 27th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 25th in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern: 29.0% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, well above the district's 19.5% and the state's 16.7%. Nearly three in ten students missing that much school is one of the most striking challenges in the data.
Test proficiency is well below state levels, especially in math. In 2025–2026, 33.78% of students were proficient in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing versus 51.9% statewide, and only 12.92% in SAT Mathematics versus 25.6% statewide. Biology proficiency improved from 26.06% to 31.37% year over year, but the prior-year state rate was 45.6%, so the school likely remains behind. School and district test figures are nearly identical, which is expected given Pike High School essentially represents the district's high-school results. For context, 51.94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $13,759, and the student-teacher ratio is 15:1. The takeaway for parents: graduation outcomes look solid, but proficiency and attendance deserve close attention.
