Funding

How Indiana funds schools

Indiana funds schools through enrollment-based Tuition Support: a per-student Foundation amount plus Complexity funding that adds dollars for students receiving SNAP, TANF or foster services. The 2025 state budget raised total tuition support to about $9.4 billion in FY2026, folded textbook funding into the foundation amount, funded virtual students at the full foundation rate, and extended Choice Scholarship vouchers to all income levels.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Greencastle Community School Corporation are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Indiana reports school data through the Indiana Graduates Prepared to Succeed (GPS) dashboard — ILEARN/IREAD results, graduation and postsecondary readiness — and in 2026 finalized a redesigned A–F accountability model that first counts in 2026–27. Look up Greencastle Community School Corporation on the Indiana GPS dashboard.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Indiana public districts are accredited by the Indiana State Board of Education (performance-based accreditation); a school may instead hold accreditation from a state-recognized agency such as Cognia (the former North Central Association). See the Indiana Department of Education.
