Summary:
The Rising Sun-Ohio County Com district in southeastern Indiana serves 831 students across three schools: Ohio County Elementary School (PK–5, 409 students), Ohio County Middle School (6–8, 187 students), and Rising Sun High School (9–12, 235 students). The district ranks 186th of 374 Indiana districts — the 50th percentile — with 3 stars.
Ohio County Elementary School is the district's academic standout. It has climbed from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile in 2025–2026 while holding 3 stars, and its 2025–2026 ILEARN results lead the district in every subject: ELA 45.39, Math 53.29, and Science 49.12, well above the district's 38.29, 34.81, and 42.48. Fifth-grade Social Studies (57.69) is also strong against the state's 47.2. Its weak spot is chronic absenteeism at 17.7%, higher than both the district (12.5%) and the state (16.7%). Ohio County Middle School is harder to read. Its Biology EOC score of 83.33 far exceeds the district's 50.77, but all-grades Math is only 17.68 versus the district's 34.81, with 7th-grade Math at 9.09 against the state's 35.9. Its rating has swung between 2 and 3 stars.
Rising Sun High School pairs strong completion and attendance — a 98.0% graduation rate and 7.0% chronic absenteeism, both better than state averages — with weak SAT Math (15.38 versus the state's 25.6), though SAT ERW is at or above the state level. It has held 2 stars. Across the district, spending and class size do not track neatly with results: the high school spends the most per student ($15,045) yet has the weakest SAT math, while the middle school spends the least ($9,343) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.9). Free or reduced lunch ranges from 38.3% at the high school to 47.59% at the middle school.
