Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105

Summary:

Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105 is an elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 313 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Indianapolis Public Schools district.

Despite increased per-student funding over the years, Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105 consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Indiana, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math assessments significantly lower than state and district averages. The school has a high percentage of minority students (41.53% African American, 53.04% Hispanic) and a very high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (66.99% to 77.64%). Chronic absenteeism has also been a persistent issue, reaching as high as 52% in the 2020-2021 school year. When compared to nearby schools like Lakeside Elementary School, which outperforms Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105 in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, the challenges facing this school become even more apparent.

Despite the school's struggles, the student-teacher ratio at Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105 has remained relatively low, ranging from 9.8 to 14.9 students per teacher. However, this does not appear to have had a significant impact on the school's academic performance, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students.

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.
