Original Research by School Decision on Damar Charter Academy
Damar Charter Academy is a single-school district in Marion County, Indiana, serving kindergarten through grade twelve. The academy is a relatively small school, with an enrollment that is predominantly white, with Black students making up a substantial share. There are also smaller shares of students who identify as two or more races and Hispanic students.
On state assessments, the academic picture is stark. Across the tested grades, which ran from grade three through grade eight for math and English language arts, no student scored at the proficient level. The result placed the district in the bottom quartile for overall proficiency among Marion County's districts. Science and social studies results for the grade levels tested were suppressed due to very small testing counts, so there is no usable data there.
The school serves a large number of high school students relative to its size; over half of its enrollment is in grades nine through twelve. Because the school is a single district that covers the full K-12 span, the graduation rate data was not available in the source material. A parent seeking information on graduation outcomes would need to ask the school directly.
Chronic absenteeism, a measure that captures how many students miss a substantial portion of the school year, falls below the midpoint among the county's districts, meaning the rate is higher than typical for the area. On a positive fiscal note, per-pupil current spending lands in the upper range among the county's districts, indicating that the school invests more per student than many neighboring districts do.
A search for recent district-level changes, such as curriculum shifts or property-tax referenda, turned up very little of lasting impact. Available sources describe the school's mission and its enrollment lottery process, but do not report parent-relevant developments from the past several years. Readers should be aware that the school's academic results, based on the small number of students tested, present a clear challenge that a family would want to discuss further with the school to understand the context and the supports in place.
The district's locale brief was not provided, so there is no information about the surrounding community, housing market, or commute context. The school's website is also not listed in the available data.
