Summary

Ohio County Elementary School is a public PK–5 school serving 409 students in Rising Sun, Indiana, part of the Rising Sun-Ohio County Com district. In 2025-2026 it ranked 327 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 68th percentile, with 3 stars — while its district ranked 186 of 374 statewide, the 50th percentile, also 3 stars. That puts the school above its district's overall standing. Its rank history shows a steady climb: from 708 of 1,016 (30th percentile, 2 stars) in 2020-2021 to its current 68th percentile, its best recent result and a clear improvement over 1-star ratings in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017.

Math is the strongest academic differentiator. All-grade math proficiency is 53.29%, which is 18.48 points above the district's 34.81%. Fifth-grade math stands at 51.92% versus the state's 42%, and 5th-grade social studies is 57.69% vs the state's 47.2%. ELA is improving but uneven: 3rd-grade ELA is 48.84% and 4th-grade ELA is 49.12%, both above state, while 5th-grade ELA is 38.46% against the state's 42.2%. Among nearby schools, only Dillsboro Elementary School (83rd percentile, 4 stars) clearly outranks Ohio County. Ohio County sits slightly ahead of Bright Elementary School (66th percentile) and well ahead of Central, Milan, Aurora, Jefferson-Craig, and Switzerland County.

The biggest contrast is attendance. Ohio County's 2024-2025 chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is above the state's 16.7%, above its district's 12.5%, and the highest among the nearby schools listed — Dillsboro reports just 4.0%. The trend is improving, though, from 21.3% in 2022-2023 to 17.7%. Resources look favorable: the student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is the lowest among nearby schools, and per-pupil spending was $12,084 in 2023-2024. Note that nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grade comparisons should be read with some caution.

What people are saying

Monday, September 24, 2012

There is a prevalent air of condescension among many staff. The teacher to student ratio is too high to support adequate educational opportunities. The children are expected to be little robots and are disciplined for every minute infraction. There is almost no sports and limited extra curricular activities, and no advanced classes for gifted and talented students. Creativity is discouraged in the name of conformity. This is a small town school with small town standards and expectations. Close Quote

They need new teachers & teaching methods. Teacher communication with parents is not there. Close Quote

Religious intolerance and hostile staff. Bizarre educational practices that set children back and change from year to year. School allows teachers' religious beliefs to interfere with the curriculum. Close Quote
