Original Research by School Decision on Achieve Virtual Elementary
Achieve Virtual Elementary was a virtual public school within Indiana’s MSD Wayne Township, serving students in a single grade band and operated as a regular public school. Its status is now closed, so it is not currently enrolling students. The school’s profile was based in Indianapolis and carried the same zip code as the district’s administrative offices, reflecting its status as a centralized virtual program rather than a neighborhood building.
State assessment results are available from the 2022-23 school year, which was before the school closed. On the ILEARN assessments, the share of students scoring at the proficient level or above was below the state benchmark across all tested subjects. In math, the proficiency rate was modest, and in English language arts, it was similarly moderate, both representing a small number of students passing. Science and social studies results were also limited, with fewer than half of tested students reaching proficiency. About 80 students were tested in math and English language arts, and about 40 in science, indicating a small testing cohort for a school of this type. The school did not serve grades that produce a graduation rate, and no multi-year trend data is available to track change over time.
Enrollment and demographic data, including total count, free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, race and ethnicity, and special population figures for students with disabilities or English learners, were not reported in the available records for this school. Civil rights, discipline, staffing, course access, and attendance data are also absent from the record. A parent looking into this school historically would have needed to contact the district directly for a fuller picture of its student body.
The absence of many typical data points is not unusual for a virtual elementary school that served a single grade band. Such schools often have smaller enrollments and may not report all standard fields in the same way as a brick-and-mortar school. The school does not have any program offerings reported, and there is no comparison fact-set positioning it against other schools in Marion County.
The parent district, MSD Wayne Township, underwent notable changes around the time this school operated. In 2022, voters approved both an operating referendum and a capital projects referendum. The operating measure funds teacher salaries, academic programs, and school safety. The capital referendum supports facility improvements across the district, including the construction of a new elementary school to replace an aging building. The district has also pursued STEM certification at several schools, including Ben Davis High School and Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center, and has expanded project-based learning across grade levels. These are district-wide shifts that may have influenced the decision to close Achieve Virtual Elementary.
For a family considering virtual elementary options in the Indianapolis area, this school is no longer operating, so the only remaining relevance is as a historical data point. The district offers other school options with a mix of traditional and STEM-focused pathways. The housing market in the surrounding zip code is moderately priced for the Indianapolis metro area, with home values and rents both close to national averages relative to income. The local unemployment rate and rent costs are typical for the region.
Because the school is closed, there is no current academic pathway, peer environment, or student support to evaluate. A parent researching this school today would find only its past test results and its closed status, and would be better served by looking at active schools within MSD Wayne Township or other districts in the area.
