Vanguard Collegiate of Indianapolis to close next month amid declining enrollment
Vanguard Collegiate of Indianapolis will close roughly two months into the school year, citing declining enrollment. It’s the second charter school in less than a year that has announced a closure during the school year, a practice that charter school accountability experts say causes disruptions for families who then scramble to find new schools. Since the state created the charter school law in 2001, 29 brick-and-mortar and blended learning charter schools in Marion County have closed, or roughly 30% of the 94 that have opened, according to a Chalkbeat analysis.
