How Paramount Englewood compares with Indiana and U.S. medians
What stands out at Paramount Englewood
Paramount Englewood is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, enrolling 270 students.
Class loads run heavy: 22.5:1 is larger than about 96% of Indiana schools and 42% above the 15.9:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 76.0% of students qualify for free meals, 54% above the Indiana average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 270 puts it in the smaller third of Indiana schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 95% of the 1,862 Indiana schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 167 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Indiana schools statewide, it ranks #149, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by African American (59%) and Hispanic or Latino (22%) (diversity index 59/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 27.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 21.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Indianapolis's elementary schools, it stands alongside Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate (1,365 students): Paramount Englewood is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (22.5:1 vs 21:1).
Paramount Englewood is a single-school charter district, so Paramount Englewood operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
