Summary:
Schools in Randolph Eastern School Corp include two schools serving about 915 students: North Side Elementary School for PK–6 and Union City Community Junior/Senior High for grades 7–12, within a district ranked 334 of 374 with a 1-star rating.
Comparing the two, North Side has 526 students and Union City High has 389. North Side’s all-grades math proficiency is 25.98%, above the district’s 20.71% and much higher than Union City High’s 10.07%. Union City High has the district’s clearest positive: a 95.2% graduation rate, above Indiana’s 89.7%. However, both schools have chronic absenteeism above the state’s 16.7%: North Side at 20.0% and Union City High at 22.4%. Union City High spends more per student ($15,893) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.6) than North Side ($10,855 and 13.6), yet that does not translate into higher math proficiency in this snapshot.
Key concerns remain. Union City High’s SAT Math is 1.85% versus the state’s 25.6%, the lowest figure here; its SAT ERW is 25.93% versus 51.9%. North Side’s ELA is weak: all grades 16.01%, with grade-level results from 10.94% to 21.33%, all far below state comparators. Science is mixed: North Side’s 4th-grade science is 18.75% against the state’s 43.8%, while Union City High’s Biology improved from 11.54% to 23.44%. Rank history shows North Side stable at the 17th percentile, while Union City High fell from the 26th percentile in 2023–2024 to 13th in 2025–2026. Families should note that graduation strength at the high school currently outpaces college-ready test proficiency, and both schools face attendance challenges.
