Summary

Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fairmount, Indiana, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 304 students. The school is part of the Madison-Grant United School Corporation, which is ranked 288 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park Elementary School consistently outperforms the Madison-Grant United School Corporation in ILEARN test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 31.71% of Park Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 24.17% for the district. The school also performs better than the state average in several grade-level ILEARN tests, such as 6th grade English Language Arts (40.26% vs. 40.5%) and 6th grade Math (40.26% vs. 39.7%). However, Park Elementary School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.8% to 26.9% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and a concern that the school should address.

Compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Summitville School and Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant K-5, Park Elementary School performs significantly better on ILEARN tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. However, Park Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rates are similar to these nearby schools, suggesting a broader issue within the district. The school's higher-than-average spending per student, ranging from $9,443 to $10,196 over the past few years, may indicate a commitment to providing a well-rounded educational experience and additional resources for students.
