Summary

Park Elementary School in Fairmount, Indiana is the grades 3–6 upper-elementary campus of Madison-Grant United School Corp in Grant County, serving 292 students, about 63.7% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. For 2025–2026 it ranks 618th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — 39th percentile, 2 stars — and has landed between the 37th and 49th percentile at 2 stars in every reported year since 2015–2016. It outperforms its own district in every tested subject: 32.96% in ELA versus the district's 21.34%, 43.33% in math versus 24.69%, and 23.97% in science versus 19.69%. Against state averages it is above only in 3rd grade ELA and math, and roughly level in 5th grade math.

Attendance is Park's most distinctive number by far: chronic absenteeism of 3.3%, compared with 18.4% for the district and 16.7% statewide. Its PK–2 feeder, Summitville School, is next lowest at 5.6%, while the district's Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant K-5 sits at 19.3%. Park also has the smallest student-teacher ratio in its comparison group at 13.9:1, against 23:1 at the virtual academy. Per-pupil spending is near the bottom at $9,592, down about 6% since 2020–21 while most nearby schools held steady.

Its weaknesses are concentrated. Science fell from 40.97% to 23.97% in a single year, with 4th grade science at 18.84% versus the state's 43.8%. There is also a sharp drop from 3rd grade (47.46% ELA, 64.41% math) to 4th grade (24.64% ELA, 34.78% math), and social studies has slid from a 62.82% peak to 33.85%. Math, meanwhile, has climbed from 29.67% to 43.33% over three years. The two clearly higher-ranked nearby schools — Eastbrook South Elementary (64th percentile, 3 stars) and Alexandria Monroe Elementary School (67th percentile, 3 stars) — serve substantially wealthier populations, while Northview Elementary School, with the most similar poverty profile, sits at the same 39th percentile.
