Best elementary schools?

Hello! My family and I will be moving to Indy for a new job. I have three young kids, all elementary school aged, and need recs for neighborhoods and schools. We want to be close to work (downtown). I’ve heard about Carmel and although nice, it is totally out of our price range, plus it’s kind of a commute for us. We are also a mixed family (white and asian) and I would like to see some diversity in our neighborhood. Looking for a neighborhood that is safe and has good schools in the area. Also, what is the best resource to use when looking up schools in Indy? Any thoughts on IPS, center for inquiry schools, etc? Thank you!

Edit: anyone have anything to say about CFI schools? I keep hearing about it and am curious
