Original Research by School Decision on Paramount Englewood
Paramount Englewood is a single-school charter district in Marion County, Indiana, serving only grades five through eight. That limited grade span means there is no graduation rate to report, and state testing data covers the assessments given to those grades. The district enrolls a small student body. Its composition is predominantly Black, with a substantial Hispanic population and smaller shares of white students and students identifying as two or more races. Information on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, receive special education services, or are classified as English learners was not available. The district operates as a charter, and no recent property-tax measures, curriculum overhauls, or other major changes clearing a lasting-impact bar were found in publicly reported sources.
On the 2024-25 ILEARN state assessments, Paramount Englewood’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades placed above the midpoint among Marion County’s districts. That is a solid relative position. In math, roughly two out of five students scored proficient or above, and in English language arts the rate was similar. Science proficiency was markedly lower, and social studies proficiency, assessed only at grade five, was in the single digits. These are the reported results; participation rates for the assessments were not posted, so the figures represent those students who actually took the tests. A parent may want to follow up with the school to understand the full testing picture and what supports are in place for subjects where scores are weaker.
A key concern that emerges from the data is student attendance. The district’s chronic absenteeism rate falls in the bottom quartile among Marion County’s districts, meaning a high share of students are missing a substantial number of school days. Chronic absenteeism at that level can affect academic progress and classroom continuity, and families considering this school may wish to ask the administration directly about steps being taken to improve attendance.
Per-pupil current spending falls in the middle range, lower half when compared to other Marion County districts. Without more detail on how those funds are allocated, it is hard to draw conclusions about resource levels in the classroom, but the spending figure is not notably high or low for the area.
The district is contained in a single school, Paramount Englewood, which serves as the only school in the district. Because it serves grades five through eight, the academic experience is focused on the middle school years. There is no information available on course offerings, extracurricular programs, or specific academic pathways, so those aspects of the school are not possible to characterize from the provided data. A parent interested in the program depth, arts, athletics, or elective options would need to contact the school directly.
Overall, Paramount Englewood presents a middle-grade charter option whose state test results hold a position above the typical district in its county, but with sharp variation by subject and a notable attendance challenge that families should explore further.
