Original Research by School Decision on Dept of Correction Adult Schools
The Dept of Correction Adult Schools is a school within the Indiana Department of Correction, serving grades seven through twelve. It is classified as a special education school. The school is located in downtown Indianapolis. This is not a traditional public school that families choose based on neighborhood attendance boundaries or academic offerings; it operates under the state correctional system and serves incarcerated juveniles.
Because of its setting, much of the standard data that appears for typical K–12 schools is absent or does not apply in the same way. No state assessment results are available. Academic performance data, multi-year trends, and graduation rates are not reported here. In a correctional facility school, testing protocols and diploma pathways often differ from those in conventional schools, so a parent should not interpret missing scores as a weak or strong signal—they simply reflect the school’s distinct purpose.
Enrollment counts are listed as zero, and no student race or ethnicity data is provided. Free- and reduced-price lunch figures are missing, as are special education and English learner counts. These gaps are consistent with a correctional facility environment where the standard data collection and reporting frameworks may not apply. The school does not have discipline, staffing, or attendance data in the available record. No program offerings, such as Advanced Placement or career pathways, are listed.
For a parent or resident researching typical school options, this entity is not one you would enroll a child in through a choice process. It serves a specific population under the Indiana Department of Correction. The information provided here is limited, and anyone seeking further understanding of the school’s operations would need to contact the department directly. The housing and economic context for the area—downtown Indianapolis—includes typical urban patterns, but the school itself is not tied to a neighborhood attendance zone.
