Randolph Southern School Corp

The Randolph Southern School Corp district in Indiana serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in its portfolio - Randolph Southern Elementary School and Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School. The data reveals that Randolph Southern Elementary consistently ranks in the top 40% of Indiana elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong performance in ILEARN math assessments. Meanwhile, Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School has seen an improvement in its statewide ranking, now placing 173 out of 429 Indiana high schools, and boasts an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate.

Both schools face challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, but the data also highlights their strengths. Randolph Southern Elementary excels in 6th grade ILEARN proficiency, exceeding state averages in both ELA and Math. Randolph Southern Junior-Senior High School stands out in ILEARN Biology End of Course assessments, with 55.56% proficiency. The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with the junior-senior high spending over $3,000 more per student, may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district.

Overall, the Randolph Southern School Corp district appears to be making progress, with its elementary school's strong academic performance and the high school's positive trajectory. However, the district should address the chronic absenteeism issue and ensure that resources are distributed fairly across the schools to provide the best possible education for all students.
