Summary:

Rochester Community School Corp in Indiana includes four schools serving 1,593 students: Rochester Community High School (grades 8–12, 567 students), Rochester Community Middle School (5–7, 353), George M Riddle Elementary School (2–4, 348), and Columbia Elementary School (PK–1, 325). The district is ranked 143rd of 374 in Indiana, in the 62nd percentile with 3 stars. Free/reduced lunch ranges from 58.2% at the high school to 67.08% at Columbia Elementary School. Spending is uneven: the high school reports $29,188 per student, far above the middle school ($14,051), Columbia Elementary School ($14,615), and George M Riddle Elementary School ($12,260), while student-teacher ratios range from 11.0 at the middle school to 14.2 at Columbia Elementary School.

Rochester Community Middle School is the clearest standout: ranked 95th of 486 (80th percentile, 4 stars), up from 2 stars in 2023–24, with only 3.6% chronic absenteeism and strong math (5th grade 69.77%, 6th grade 66.37%). Rochester Community High School is mixed: graduation is 100.0%, SAT ERW is 56.76% (above the state’s 51.9%), but SAT Math is 11.71% (state 25.6%) and 8th grade math is 21.43% (state 34.2%). George M Riddle Elementary School is the lowest-ranked tested school (609th of 1,015; 40th percentile, 2 stars), with 3rd grade ELA at 27.84% vs the state’s 40.8%. Columbia Elementary School has no state test scores because it serves PK–1, but it has the district’s highest free/reduced lunch (67.08%), chronic absenteeism (16.3%), and student-teacher ratio (14.2).

Across the district, math drops sharply after 6th grade: 5th and 6th grade math are strong, 7th grade is 35.78% (near the state’s 35.9%), and 8th grade/SAT math fall below state levels. Chronic absenteeism is low at the middle school (3.6%) and high at Columbia Elementary School (16.3%), compared with the district’s 11.1% and the state’s 16.7%. Spending does not move in lockstep with outcomes, and district performance is uneven. The clearest priorities are high school math, elementary ELA and science at George M Riddle Elementary School, and absenteeism and test-data gaps at Columbia Elementary School.
