What Grant School does

Madison-Grant United School Corporation is a public K-12 school corporation headquartered at 11580 S. E. 00 W. in Fairmount, Indiana, formed in the late 1960s through the merger of the Fairmount school district with an adjacent district. The corporation serves approximately 1,000 students drawn from Fairmount, Fowlerton, Summitville, and surrounding rural communities including Alexandria, Elwood, Jonesboro, Orestes, Rigdon, and Point Isabelle, operating across a 175-square-mile service area. It delivers education through three physical campuses, Park Elementary (K-5), Summitville Elementary, and Madison-Grant Jr./Sr. High School (grades 6-12, expanding to include fifth grade in 2026-2027), supplemented by two online academy partnerships with Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana and Beacon Online Academy, alongside vocational programs at Hinds Vocational Program and Grant Regional Career Center.

The district operates on a publicly funded model with no disclosed revenue figures, providing free appropriate public education (FAPE) as mandated by law, financed through Indiana state aid and local property taxes. Its technology stack is composed entirely of third-party vendor platforms, with PowerSchool serving as the student information system and parent portal for grades, attendance, and registration; Apptegy powering the district website; ParentSquare handling family communications; Five Star Tech managing IT support ticketing; and School Nutrition and Fitness administering food services. Transportation is supported by 14 regular bus routes and 2 special education routes, and the corporation is a member of the Indiana Coalition of Quality Schools.
