Summary:
Vision Academy is the only school in the Vision Academy district, a K–8 elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana serving 391 students. Because it is a single-school district, school-level and district-level figures are identical wherever both are reported. The school serves a high-need population: 94.37% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism was 33.5%, more than double Indiana's 16.7% rate, meaning roughly one in three students missed enough school to be considered chronically absent. Per-student spending was $13,978 in 2023–24, with a 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25.
Academically, Vision Academy ranks near the bottom of Indiana schools. Its district rank is 331 of 374 (11th percentile, 1 star), and its 2025–26 state rank is 872 of 1015 (14th percentile, 1 star), up from the 4th percentile (0 stars) in 2024–25. In 2025–26, all-grade proficiency was 22.12% in ELA, 12.50% in Math and 12.68% in Science. Math is weaker than ELA, and middle-grade math is critically low: 6th grade 5.88%, 7th grade 2.86% and 8th grade 2.56%, against state rates in the 34%–40% range. The largest gaps are 4th grade Science (5.41% vs. 43.8% state) and 3rd grade ELA (6.25% vs. 40.8% state).
Improvement is visible but from a very low base. All-grade ELA rose 9.14 points year over year, Math 6.37 points and 5th grade Social Studies 9.08 points. The least severe gaps were 6th grade ELA (32.35% vs. 41.3%), 3rd grade Math (28.13%), 6th grade Science (20.59%) and 5th grade Social Studies (20.51%) — all still below state averages. State comparison figures are not available for all-grade proficiency, free/reduced lunch, spending or student-teacher ratio, so those numbers cannot be judged against statewide norms. The data are descriptive and do not establish cause and effect.
