District-Level NCES Analysis

Madison-Grant United School Corp operates 6 public schools serving 1,561 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,941 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Grant County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,236 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 26.3% local, 60.0% state, and 13.7% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $50,218 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 64/100, ranked #82 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 285.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.2% White, 11.4% African American, 7.0% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant 9-12 accounts for 25.2% of all Madison-Grant United School Corp student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Madison-Grant United School Corp-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
