Indiana Virtual School is a virtual school sponsored by the state of Indiana and authorized by Daleville Community Schools.[5] The school is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.[6] The school serves grades 6-12 and enrolled a total of 1,909 students for the 2015-16 school year according to the Indiana Virtual School Annual Report.[7] Online schools are an alternative to traditional public schools.[8]

Indiana Virtual School is a public charter school accredited by the Indiana Department of Education and authorized by Ball State University.[9][10]

The school has been criticized for an extraordinarily high student teacher ratio, more than 200 students per teacher.[1] The U.S. average for all virtual schools is 35.5, and for all public schools 16.[11] Only 64 of 985 seniors graduated in 2017, statistics similar to the previous year, the lowest graduation rate of any public school in the state.[12][4]
