District-Level NCES Analysis

Indiana Connections Academy operates 1 public schools serving 5,784 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 5,376 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Marion County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,562 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 0.5% local, 90.4% state, and 9.1% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 26/100, ranked #337 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 282.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 15.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 74.3% White, 9.4% African American, 9.0% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Indiana Connections Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Indiana Connections Academy student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Indiana Connections Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Indiana Connections Academy student-counselor ratio is 283:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
