Summary

Indiana Connections Academy is a public charter virtual school serving 5,475 students in grades K-12 in Indianapolis, Indiana. While the school offers an alternative educational model focused on online and remote learning, it faces several challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.28% of students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.3-42.7% across grade levels. In ILEARN/Math, the school's proficiency rate was just 15.26%, compared to 34.5-51.5% statewide. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 88.4% is respectable but lower than the state average, and its three-year graduation rate is even lower at 63.9%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as Damar Charter Academy, Victory College Prep, and IN Math & Science Academy - North, Indiana Connections Academy generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's test scores and graduation rates are also lower than those of nearby traditional public schools, such as the Impact Academies and Ben Davis Ninth Grade Center, which are part of the Indianapolis Public Schools district. The school's spending per student of $8,514 in 2023-2024 is also lower than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 32.2 is significantly higher than nearby schools, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
