Middle Schools in Randolph Central School Corp

Middle schools in Randolph Central School Corp consist of exactly one school: Lee L Driver Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 316 students in Winchester, Indiana. The district is ranked 189th of 374 Indiana districts (49th percentile, 3 stars), while the school carries 2 stars and has improved its rank from 304th of 491 in 2023–24 to 266th of 486 in 2025–26 (45th percentile). Non-test indicators show chronic absenteeism at 15.9%, better than the district’s 16.0% and the state’s 16.7%. About 50.32% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.2:1, with per-student spending of $11,075 in 2023–24.

Academically, science is the strongest subject: all-grades proficiency is 39.13%, above the district’s 36.81% and up from 37.04% in 2024–25. ELA also improved, rising from 24.68% to 32.12%, narrowing the gap to the district from 4.76 to 1.91 percentage points. However, math is a serious weakness. All-grades math is 29.47%, which is 8.09 points below the district’s 37.56% and down from 33.33% the prior year. Every tested grade is below the state in math: 6th grade is 28.26% vs. 40.2%, 7th grade is 27% vs. 35.9%, and 8th grade is 32.73% vs. 34.2%. Additionally, 6th-grade ELA is only 21.74%, nearly 20 points below the state’s 41.3%, while 7th and 8th grade ELA are 36% and 37.27%, respectively, within about 6–7 points of state averages.

For parents, the key takeaways are that Lee L Driver shows promising momentum in ELA and science, an attendance advantage over district and state, and a gradually improving rank. Its clearest priorities are middle-grade math—especially grades 6 and 7—and 6th-grade ELA, while preserving science and attendance strengths. Context matters: about half of students have economic need, and data limitations include that this is the only middle school, so district and school grade-level results are often identical, and district “All Grades” figures may include elementary grades. Year-over-year comparisons involve different cohorts, and most non-test metrics are single-year snapshots.
