Summary:
Randolph Central School Corp is a five-school Indiana district serving about 1,408 students in grades PK–12, made up of three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district is rated 189th of 374 Indiana districts — the 49th percentile, or 3 stars — placing it in the middle of the pack statewide. Enrollment skews slightly toward the upper grades: Winchester Community High School has 399 students in grades 9–12, followed by Lee L Driver Middle School (316, grades 6–8), O R Baker Elementary School (303, PK–2), Willard Elementary School (232, grades 3–5), and Deerfield Elementary School (158, PK–5).
Deerfield Elementary School is the district's clear standout: the only 4-star school, ranked 252nd of 1,015 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (75th percentile). Its all-grade proficiency is 48.1% in ELA, 62.03% in math, and 40% in science — far above district averages — with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.9. Winchester Community High School has a bright spot in its 95.5% graduation rate (state: 89.7%), but SAT ERW (44.94% vs. 51.9%) and SAT math (19.1% vs. 25.6%) lag the state, and its 21.6% chronic absenteeism is the district's highest.
Attendance and achievement don't move in lockstep here. Willard Elementary School has the district's best attendance at 6.1% chronic absenteeism, yet ranks at the 40th percentile with mixed scores. Lee L Driver Middle School improved to the 45th percentile but has weak math (29.47%) and a 21.74% 6th-grade ELA proficiency versus the state's 41.3%. O R Baker Elementary School has no test data because it serves PK–2, but its 20.6% absenteeism is a concern, while its 30.03% free/reduced lunch rate is the district's lowest.
