Summary:

The city of Fortville, Indiana is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Mt Vernon Community School Corp. The standout school in the district is Mt Vernon High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 60 Indiana high schools over the past 3 years and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2024-2025. The school boasts an 88.4% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores, with 76.35% proficiency in ILEARN/Biology and 63.69% proficiency in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing.

Another high-performing school in the district is Fortville Elementary School, which outperformed the district and state averages in several ILEARN subjects, such as 3rd grade Math (58.45% proficiency) and 5th grade English Language Arts (46.85% proficiency) in 2024-2025. However, the school had lower test scores compared to Mt Vernon High School, which could be related to the higher spending per student at Fortville Elementary ($12,662) compared to Mt Vernon High School ($11,456).

Across the district, all schools had a concerning 17.8% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024, which the district may need to address. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios varied significantly, from 13.9 at Fortville Elementary to 71.0 at Mt Vernon Early Learning Academy, which could impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.
