Original Research by School Decision on Mays Community Academy
Mays Community Academy is a small, rural district in Rush County, Indiana, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. It is a single-school district, meaning the academy is the only school under its governance. Because it does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report, and the academic picture is limited to the state assessments given in the elementary and middle school years.
The student body is small and overwhelmingly white, with a very small number of Hispanic students and a handful of students who identify as two or more races. The district reported no Black, Asian, or Native American students. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available, so a parent would want to ask the school directly about the level of economic and learning support present.
On the 2024-25 Indiana ILEARN assessments, which cover students in grades three through eight, the district's proficiency rates were low across all subjects. In math, roughly a quarter of tested students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, the rate was lower, and in science and social studies, the rates were lower still. The number of students tested was small, which means a single student's performance can shift the rate noticeably. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand the academic program and how the school supports students who are not yet meeting the state's proficiency benchmarks.
The district serves only grades PK through eight, and the enrollment data shows no students in grades seven or eight, which suggests the school may have recently adjusted its grade configuration or that those grades are served elsewhere. The enrollment is very small, with roughly a hundred students spread across kindergarten through sixth grade. The student body is almost entirely white. Data on the share of students with disabilities, English learners, and those from low-income households was not reported, so a family considering this school would need to ask about the range of support services available.
Because Mays Community Academy is the only district in Rush County, the comparison tool could not place it against any neighboring districts. There is no local context to say whether its proficiency rates are higher or lower than those of nearby schools. The district brief turned up little publicly reported information about recent changes or strategic priorities, so this account is built almost entirely from the state's testing and enrollment data. A family looking at this school will want to visit, talk to staff, and get a firsthand sense of the academic program and the community it serves.
