Summary:
The Randolph Eastern School Corp district in Indiana serves two schools, North Side Elementary School and Union City Community Junior/Senior High, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state-level metrics across various measures, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
North Side Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with 35.47% Hispanic students and 3.57% students of two or more races, while Union City Community Junior/Senior High has a similar demographic breakdown. However, both schools struggle significantly with low ILEARN English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with only 17.69% and 15.45% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding proficiency standards in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 38.6%.
The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, with both schools reporting over 28% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year. While Union City Community Junior/Senior High spends more per student ($11,407) than North Side Elementary School ($9,257), this higher funding does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution to improving school performance in the Randolph Eastern School Corp district.
