Summary

Ohio County Middle School is a public middle school in Rising Sun, Indiana, serving 187 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Rising Sun-Ohio County Com district.

Academics are mixed, and math is the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 17.68%, the lowest among nearby middle schools and well below the district's 34.81%; 7th-grade math was just 9.09%. English Language Arts proficiency was 31.71%, below Milan Middle School (41.45%), Switzerland County Middle School (42.65%), and Greendale Middle School (37.70%), and roughly even with South Dearborn Middle School (31.11%). Eighth grade is a bright spot: its ELA (37.74%) and math (26.42%) results beat every nearby school, though both remain below state averages. Biology end-of-course proficiency was 83.33%, second only to Milan Middle and far above the district's 50.77%. The school earned 2 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 325th of 486 middle schools, down from 3 stars the year before.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 7.7% in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools and less than half Indiana's 16.7% rate. The school also has the smallest classes in its comparison group, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.9, while spending $9,343 per student in 2023–2024, the lowest among nearby schools. Small classes are an advantage, but modest spending may limit resources for math intervention. Notably, strong attendance has not translated into strong math scores, suggesting the issue lies more with curriculum or instruction than with engagement. For parents, the takeaway is a small, well-attended school with strong 8th-grade and Biology results, where math, especially in 7th grade, deserves a close look.
