District-Level NCES Analysis
Randolph Central School Corp operates 5 public schools serving 1,432 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Randolph County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,682 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 406 Indiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Indiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 24.1% local, 58.5% state, and 17.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 65/100, ranked #94 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Demographically, the student body averages 88.0% White, 6.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is O R Baker Elementary School, with a diversity index of 29.4/100.
Winchester Community High School accounts for 27.9% of all Randolph Central School Corp student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Randolph Central School Corp-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Randolph Central School Corp school enrollment varies 2.5× across entities
Randolph Central School Corp school enrollment ranges from 158 students (lowest) to 399 students (highest), a spread of 241 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Randolph Central School Corp has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 52.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Randolph Central School Corp student-counselor ratio is 563:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Randolph Central School Corp chronic absenteeism rate is 20.1% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Randolph Central School Corp is typically wider than the Randolph Central School Corp-aggregate figure suggests.
