INDIANAPOLIS METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL

Indianapolis Metropolitan High Sch is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Indianapolis Metropolitan High Sch school district, located in Indianapolis, IN with about 288 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, Indianapolis Metropolitan High Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Indianapolis Metropolitan High School, located on West Michigan Street in Indianapolis, is a unique public charter high school operated by Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana. The school is specifically designed to serve students who have faced significant barriers to education, including those who have experienced foster care, homelessness, or past academic disruptions. By focusing on a "student-first" model, the school aims to provide a safe, supportive environment that emphasizes both high school graduation and long-term post-secondary success.

A defining feature of the school is its commitment to "wraparound" support services. Recognizing that students often face challenges outside the classroom, Indianapolis Metropolitan offers access to onsite social workers, career coaches, and specialized resources to address mental health and life stability. The curriculum is heavily focused on college and career readiness, often integrating vocational training and work-based learning opportunities to ensure that every graduate leaves with a clear plan, whether that involves pursuing higher education, obtaining professional certifications, or entering the workforce.
