Original Research by School Decision on Eagle Creek Elementary School
Eagle Creek Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school within the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township, located on the west side of Indianapolis. The school is part of a large urban district that covers a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors typical of this part of Marion County. For a family considering this school, the immediate takeaway is that Eagle Creek delivers academic results that place it above many other schools in the county, though the proficiency rates themselves are in a range that may prompt further conversation with the school about how they serve their students.
On the 2024-25 Indiana ILEARN assessments, roughly a third of Eagle Creek students met state standards in math and English language arts, and a similar share did so in science. The social studies pass rate was slightly lower. Those numbers are not high in an absolute sense, but the school’s combined proficiency across all tested subjects positioned it among the top quarter of the county’s school districts. That rank is a meaningful indicator: among the many elementary schools and districts in Marion County, Eagle Creek’s overall performance is stronger than most. Still, with about two-thirds of students falling short of the proficiency bar, a parent may want to learn more about how the school identifies and supports students who are not yet at grade level, and what growth measures look like over time.
The student body is predominantly Black and Hispanic, with smaller shares of white students and students who identify as two or more races. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals is substantial, reflecting a community where many families face economic pressures. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the profile, so a family with a child in either group would want to ask the school directly about its special education and language support programs.
Eagle Creek enrolls nearly five hundred students across the six elementary grades, making it a mid-sized school for its grade band. It is a regular public school with no charter or magnet status, and no Title I designation was listed. The district, MSD Pike Township, has not publicly reported any major recent changes that would affect day-to-day operations or programming, according to the information available. Housing in the zip code around the school is moderately priced compared to the rest of the state; typical home values are below Indiana’s average, and rents are within a range that most local households can manage. That affordability is a factor for families looking to move into the attendance zone.
Because Eagle Creek is an elementary school, there are no graduation rates or high school outcomes to report. The school’s grade span also means that course access, chronic absenteeism, and discipline data typical of secondary schools are not applicable or were not collected at this level. A parent evaluating the school should look at the middle school and high school pathways within Pike Township to understand the full academic trajectory children will follow after fifth grade.
In summary, Eagle Creek Elementary offers academic performance that is solid relative to other schools in a large, diverse county, serving a student population that is economically varied and racially diverse. The most important step for a family would be to visit, talk with teachers, and ask about how the school works to move all students toward proficiency, especially given that the majority of students currently score below the state standard.
