Summary

Fortville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 718 students in grades K-5 in the Mt Vernon Community School Corp district in Fortville, Indiana. The school is generally performing better than the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are higher than the surrounding area. However, Fortville Elementary is facing some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism and a rising percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, Thorpe Creek Elementary in the Hamilton Southeastern district significantly outperforms Fortville Elementary in test scores, with proficiency rates over 60% in both English Language Arts and Math. Another school in the Mt Vernon district, McCordsville Elementary, also outperforms Fortville in several key metrics, including higher ILEARN proficiency rates and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Fortville Elementary, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 165 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 435 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars over the same period. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased, suggesting that the additional funding may not be directly translating to smaller class sizes.
