Franklin Community Virtual School

Franklin Community Virtual School is a small alternative, K–12 virtual school in Franklin, Indiana, serving 122 students within the Franklin Community School Corp — a district ranked 174th of 374 Indiana districts, in the 53rd percentile with a 3-star rating, or roughly average for the state — while its closest alternative-school comparisons, Damar Charter Academy and RISE Learning Center, sit 14–18 miles away in the Indianapolis area.

For 2024–2025, the school reports a 68.1% graduation rate, compared with 91.1% for its district and 89.7% statewide. In 2025–2026 testing, all-grade proficiency was 16.22% in English/language arts (versus 47.75% district), 5.41% in math (versus 41.72%), and 7.14% in science (versus 48.53%). SAT results split sharply: 11th-grade ERW was 50%, close to the district's 53.18% and the state's 51.9%, while SAT Math was 2.78% against 20.61% district and 25.6% state. The school also reports 48.36% free/reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 40.6.

Compared with the nearby alternatives, Franklin's ELA proficiency (16.22) is higher than Damar's 3.13 and RISE's 0, and its math (5.41) is higher than Damar's 0 and RISE's 3.77; its 68.1% graduation rate is far above Damar's 17.3, while RISE's is not reported. Its science (7.14) is lower than RISE's 16.67, and its student-teacher ratio of 40.6 is roughly three times Damar's 13.8 and RISE's 12.5. Because the school enrolls just 122 students across K–12, grade-level percentages can rest on only a student or two and may swing from year to year. Chronic absenteeism, spending, and several prior-year values are not reported, so questions about attendance, staffing, and resources remain unanswered.
