Summary:
ZIP code 47390 in Union City, Indiana, is served by exactly one elementary school: North Side Elementary School, a PK–6 campus with 526 students that belongs to the Randolph Eastern School Corp. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, its results define the local elementary profile, and there is no other nearby school in this data set to compare it against.
Academically, the school's strongest signal is all-grade Math, where 25.98% of students scored proficient — above the district's 20.71% and up about 6 percentage points from 19.93% the prior year. Third-grade Math (40.79%) is the highest grade-level result, and 6th-grade Science (28.38%) is the strongest science grade. ELA is the weaker area: proficiency is 16.01% overall, slightly below the district, and every tested grade trails the state — from 21.33% in 6th grade down to 10.94% in 4th grade, where the state is 42.2%. Fifth-grade Math (12.12% vs. state 42%) and 5th-grade Social Studies (19.7% vs. state 47.2%) show the largest gaps. Overall, the school holds 1 star and ranks 839 of 1,015 (17th percentile) in 2025–2026 — essentially unchanged for three years (839, 836, 839).
Context matters here: 53.23% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 20.0%, better than the district's 21.0% but above the state's 16.7%. The district itself is rated 1 star and ranks 334 of 374. Families should weigh the stable but low ratings against genuine improvement in all-grade Math and bright spots such as 3rd-grade Math and 6th-grade Science, while noting the persistent gaps in ELA, 5th-grade Math, and Social Studies.
