Broad Ripple Magnet High School for the Performing Arts was a prominent public high school located in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana. Operating under the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) system, the school was widely recognized for its specialized focus on the arts, offering rigorous academic programming alongside intensive training in areas such as dance, theater, instrumental and vocal music, and visual arts. Throughout its history, the school served as a cultural hub for the community, fostering a creative environment that encouraged students to excel both in their artistic disciplines and their traditional core curriculum.

Despite its long-standing reputation as a center for creative development, the school faced significant challenges related to declining enrollment and shifts in district policy. In 2018, as part of a broader restructuring effort by the Indianapolis Public Schools to manage resources and address academic performance, Broad Ripple Magnet High School was officially closed. While the physical building remains a landmark in the Broad Ripple area, the closure marked the end of an era for a school that had produced generations of artists, musicians, and performers in the Indianapolis region.
