To Build the Education Systems of the Future, Look to Indianapolis
Brown: The city offers an example of pairing school-level autonomy with system-level accountability and shared infrastructure. The article suggests that the American public education system is defined by stagnation and decline, while in Indianapolis, the author points out that charter schools have achieved significant English Language Arts and math proficiency gains across nearly every student subgroup. Despite this, Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) has seen stagnant or declining proficiency levels, with both independent charters and innovation charters partnering with the district. The author argues that this trend aligns with the theory of change that charter school is built on: Give talented school leaders autonomy, hold them accountable for results, and significant learning gains usually follow. However, traditional IPS schools have seen their largest single-year enrollment drop since the pandemic, with enrollment dropping by 9% over the past two years. The article also highlights the importance of creating a unified accountability framework for all public schools within IPS boundaries.
