Summary:
Madison-Grant United School Corp has a single middle school — Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant 6-8 — serving grades 6 through 8 in Fairmount, Indiana, a small community in Grant County roughly an hour northeast of Indianapolis.
The school enrolls 258 students, and its state ranking has slid each year: 435 of 491 (11th percentile, 1 star) in 2023-2024, 441 of 480 (8th percentile, 0 stars) in 2024-2025, and 464 of 486 (5th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025-2026. That places it in the bottom 5% of Indiana middle schools, below the district's own 19th percentile standing. ILEARN results for 2025-2026 trail the district in every subject — ELA 9.88% vs 21.34%, Math 6.35% vs 24.69%, Science 8.22% vs 19.69% — and every grade-level result also falls below state averages. The strongest showing is 7th grade ELA at 12.33% (district 25.33%, state 41.7%); the weakest is 8th grade Math at 4.72% (district 14.29%, state 34.2%), where fewer than 1 in 20 students were proficient.
Year over year, Math improved from 4.45% to 6.35%, while ELA dropped from 15.75% to 9.88% and Science from 11.11% to 8.22%. Chronic absenteeism reached 24.7% — about 1 in 4 students — above the district's 18.4% and the state's 16.7%. Per-student spending was $10,945, and the student-teacher ratio of 27.6 works out to roughly 28 students per teacher. For context, Madison-Grant United School Corp ranks 302 of 374 Indiana districts, in the 19th percentile with 1 star. Because the school is a virtual preparatory academy, comparisons with district and state averages may not fully account for differences in instructional model or student population, but the available figures consistently show low proficiency, a declining rank, and elevated absenteeism.
