Summary

North Side Elementary School is a PK–6 elementary school in Union City, Indiana, serving 526 students as part of Randolph Eastern School Corp. It is larger than most nearby elementary schools and currently ranks in the bottom fifth of Indiana elementary schools.

For 2025–2026, North Side ranks 839 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 17th percentile with 1 star — the lowest ranking among nearby schools such as Monroe Central Elementary School (45th percentile), Northeastern Elementary School (46th), East Jay Elementary School (61st), Randolph Southern Elementary School (72nd), Willard Elementary School (40th) and Deerfield Elementary School (75th). Test proficiency is low in every subject: 16.01% in English language arts, 25.98% in math, 23.91% in science and 19.7% in 5th grade social studies, compared with nearby schools ranging from 31.82%–48.10% in ELA and 46.43%–61.76% in social studies. This is a sharp decline from 2018–2019, when the school ranked 425 of 1,031 (59th percentile, 3 stars).

Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, from 60.1% in 2020–2021 to 20.0% in 2024–2025, but it remains above the state's 16.7% and above most nearby schools. Notably, North Side's free/reduced lunch rate (53.23%), per-student spending ($10,855) and student-teacher ratio (13.6) are all near the middle of the nearby range, so its lower results are not explained by higher poverty, lower funding or larger classes. Relative bright spots include 3rd grade math at 40.79% and 6th grade ELA at 21.33%, though both remain below state averages.
