Summary

Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant K-5 is a virtual elementary school in Fairmount, Indiana, serving 219 students in grades K–5 as part of Madison-Grant United School Corp in a small central-Indiana community surrounded by several other school districts. It has ranked near the very bottom of Indiana elementary schools in every recent year — 955th of 1,015 in 2025–2026 (6th percentile) — and has earned 0 stars each year, even though the same district's Park Elementary School holds a 2-star rating and Summitville School showed 2–4 stars in older data.

Academics are the main concern. On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, only 6.94% of all tested students were proficient in English Language Arts, 16.78% in Math, 25.71% in Science, and 12.96% in Social Studies. ELA is the weakest area: grade-level rates ran 5.71%–7.41%, versus roughly 40.8%–42.2% statewide, and below nearby low performers such as Elwood Intermediate School (19.9%) and Frances Slocum Elementary School (10.39%). Math and Science are improving from a very low base — Math rose from 5.3% in 2022–2023 to 16.78%, and Science from 2.63% to 25.71% — but Science is the only subject where the school beats its district (19.69%) and Park Elementary School (23.97%). Elsewhere it trails same-district and nearby schools such as Eastbrook South Elementary and Alexandria Monroe Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 31.5% in 2022–2023 to 19.3% in 2024–2025, but that remains far above Park Elementary School (3.3%) and Summitville School (5.6%), making attendance a clear lever for improvement. Notably, only 17.35% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — far lower than nearby schools, most of which are above 40% — so low achievement is not easily explained by poverty. The student–teacher ratio has nearly doubled to 23:1, the highest among nearby schools, while per-student spending ($9,608) is close to Park Elementary School's ($9,592), which achieves much stronger results. Overall: a school improving in Math, Science, and attendance, but still far behind in ELA and Social Studies.
