Summary
eSACS Virtual School is a small public virtual school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving 91 students in grades 6–12 as part of the MSD Southwest Allen County Schls district, which ranks 32nd of 374 Indiana districts (91st percentile, 5 stars), even though the school itself ranked 227th of 415 high schools (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026.
That contrast stands out because eSACS sits at the same Fort Wayne address as Homestead High School, a 98th percentile, 5-star school. eSACS's own rank has slipped every year, from 78th percentile and 4 stars in 2021–2022 to 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. The biggest red flag is graduation: 68.0 in 2024–2025 and 50.0 in 2023–2024, versus 95.2 for the district and 89.7 statewide — lower than every nearby school listed, including South Side High School (78.7) and Wayne High School (86.4). Reported chronic absenteeism is 0.0% for four straight years, far below the district and the state's 16.7 in 2024–2025, but as a virtual school its attendance definitions may not compare directly, and the low figure has not translated into stronger completion. Math is the weakest academic area: ILEARN Math, All Grades, was 6.67 in 2025–2026 against the district's 59.36, and SAT Math fell from 27.27 in 2022–2023 to 10.71. Reading and ELA results are sometimes near district or state levels.
Classes are tiny (4.3 students per teacher) and spending is low ($6,610 per student in 2023–2024), well under nearby schools, yet outcomes are not stronger. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 25.27% is close to Carroll High School and far below East Allen University, which makes the graduation and math gaps harder to explain by economics alone. Subgroup results are uneven: female students rank at the 67th percentile with 3 stars, low-income students around the 45th with 2 stars, and male students at the 9th percentile with 0 stars, down from the 85th percentile and 4 stars in 2022–2023. Some test results, including grades 6–7 ELA and math and Science All Grades, are not reported. With only 91 students, single-year percentages can swing, but the multi-year trends are consistent.
