Summary:
ZIP code 47380 contains exactly one public school: Deerfield Elementary School in Ridgeville, IN, a PK–5 building with 158 students in Randolph Central School Corp. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in the ZIP, so families will need to look outside the immediate area for grades beyond 5. The district ranks 189th of 374 statewide, at the 49th percentile with 3 stars.
Deerfield stands out as the strongest performer in its own district context. Its 2025–2026 school rank is 252 of 1,015 schools, the 75th percentile, with 4 stars — well above the district's 49th percentile. Math is the clearest strength: all-grades math proficiency is 62.03% versus 37.56% for the district, and every tested grade is above the state, led by 3rd grade at +14.77 points and 5th grade at +16.82 points. The school also reports 9.1% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, compared with 16.0% for the district and 16.7% for the state. Fifth-grade social studies jumped from 40% to 61.76% year over year, landing above both the district (52.59%) and state (47.2%). Rank history shows a rebound, from the 63rd percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 back to 4 stars in 2025–2026, the best of the three years shown.
Two areas are worth watching. Fifth-grade ELA is 41.18%, slightly below the state's 42.2%, and 4th-grade science is 40%, below the state's 43.8%; all-grades science also fell from 50% to 40% year over year. With only 158 students, grade-level percentages can swing on a small number of students, so those changes should be monitored over another year before being treated as lasting trends. Per-student spending is $12,359 and the student-teacher ratio is 9.9:1.
