Original Research by School Decision on Invent Learning Hub
Invent Learning Hub is a single-school K-8 charter district in Indianapolis, operating within Marion County. It serves a small enrollment across kindergarten through eighth grade, with a student body that is diverse: the largest racial or ethnic group is Black, followed by white and Hispanic students, with a smaller share identifying as two or more races. The district’s grade band means it does not serve high school, so there is no graduation rate to report.
State testing results from the ILEARN assessments show that proficiency rates across all tested subjects are low. In math, about one in ten students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, the rate was similar. Science and social studies proficiency rates were lower still. The district’s overall proficiency index, which averages results across all tested subjects and grades, places Invent Learning Hub in the bottom quartile among Marion County’s districts. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand how the curriculum and instruction align with state standards.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern. The rate is above the midpoint among the county’s districts, meaning a substantial share of students miss enough school to affect learning. The district’s per-pupil current spending is in the upper range compared to other Marion County districts, which is notable given the small enrollment.
The district is a single-school charter serving kindergarten through eighth grade. It has operated under a design-thinking and personalized-learning model since its founding, according to publicly reported information. No recent property-tax shifts, referendums, or curriculum changes that clear the lasting-impact bar were found in the research. The school’s website and the district’s own materials would be the best place to learn more about how that model works in practice.
Because the district serves only elementary and middle grades, there is no high school graduation rate to report. State testing data is available for grades three through eight, which is the tested grade band. The school’s small size means that a single cohort can shift the numbers noticeably from year to year. A parent considering this school would want to visit, talk with staff about the personalized-learning approach, and ask how the school supports students who are below grade-level expectations. The chronic absenteeism rate is another topic worth raising directly with the school to understand what supports are in place.
