Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District

The Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District serves 1,278 students across four schools in a small rural Indiana community: two elementary schools serving grades K–5, one middle school serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12. Districtwide, it ranks 113th of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 70th percentile with a 4-star rating. Enrollment is spread among Liberty Elementary School (367 students), Union County High School (337), College Corner Union Elementary School (287), and Union County Middle School (287).

The district's academic strength sits in its elementary schools. Liberty Elementary School has the strongest math profile, with all-grade math proficiency of 60.4% — 20.3 percentage points above the district's 40.14% — and consistently 4-star rank history at the 71st, 79th, and 75th percentiles. College Corner Union Elementary School is the clearest improvement story, climbing from the 52nd to the 60th to the 70th percentile over three years while topping the district in ELA (51.75%), math (48.95%), and science (48.84%). Union County High School posts a 92.8% graduation rate, above the state's 89.7%, and SAT reading of 56.32%, above the state's 51.9%, though SAT math (25.29%) sits just below the state's 25.6%.

Union County Middle School is the district's academic concern: stable at the 45th percentile with 2 stars, and below the district in ELA (37.01%), math (24.91%), and science (38.78%), with 8th-grade math at just 18.6%. Yet it also records the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 3.3%, versus the district's 10.0% and the state's 16.7% — every district school beats the state on attendance. Science and biology show the sharpest declines across schools, including falls to 42.22%, 48.84%, and 35.71%, making middle-school math and districtwide science the clearest opportunities for improvement.
