SE Neighborhood School of Excellence

Summary:

SE Neighborhood School of Excellence is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 573 students in grades K-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The school is part of the Adelante Schools district, which is ranked 344 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

SE Neighborhood School of Excellence has struggled with several key challenges. The school has a higher percentage of White students (45.55%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. It also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 52.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school consistently performs well below the state average on ILEARN assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with only 13.3% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 38.6-42.6%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools like Emma Donnan Elementary and Middle, Edison School of the Arts 47, and Invent Learning Hub, SE Neighborhood School of Excellence generally performs worse on academic measures, such as test scores and proficiency rates. The school's lower spending per student and fluctuating student-teacher ratio may also indicate challenges in terms of staffing and resources, which could be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that SE Neighborhood School of Excellence is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students, who face significant socioeconomic challenges.

Open Quote A lot of this info is outdated. The school is growing (I believe almost 600 students now) as more and more parents realize that it's a supporting and caring school. My kids love it and I do as well! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
