Richland-Bean Blossom C S C

Richland-Bean Blossom C S C is an Indiana district serving roughly 2,675 students across four schools: two elementaries (Edgewood Primary School, grades K–2, and Edgewood Intermediate School, grades 3–5), one junior high (Edgewood Junior High School, grades 6–8), and one high school (Edgewood High School, grades 9–12). There are no alternative schools in this list. Enrollment is spread fairly evenly, with the high school the largest at 777 students (29%). Richland-Bean Blossom C S C is rated 101st of 374 districts, at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars — a district rating that appears on each school record, so it is not each school's individual rating.

Edgewood Intermediate School is the clearest academic standout, especially in math and science: all-grades math is 55.94% against the district's 49.08%, 4th grade math is 66.83% against the state's 52%, and 4th grade science is 60.3% against the state's 43.8%. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism among the graded schools at 9.5%, and it posts these results despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate in the district at 41.2%. Edgewood Primary School has no test scores, which is expected for K–2, but it has the district's best attendance at 8.5% chronic absenteeism, roughly half the state's 16.7%.

Edgewood High School combines real strengths with real concerns: graduation is 95.6% versus the state's 89.7%, and SAT reading/writing is 60.67% versus the state's 51.9%, but SAT math is 23.03% against the state's 25.6% and Biology EOC is 29.89% against the district's 36.13%. Its absenteeism (16.4%) and rank have also slipped. Edgewood Junior High School is mixed — 6th grade ELA (51.24%) and 8th grade math (42.93%) beat state averages, while 7th grade ELA (37.62%) lags. Its reported 100% Biology EOC is an extreme outlier that likely reflects a very small cohort and should not be read as a school-wide result.
