District-Level NCES Analysis
Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com operates 3 public schools serving 825 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Ohio County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,195 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 31.6% local, 56.1% state, and 12.3% 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 58/100, ranked #134 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 475.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 3.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.5% White, 1.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Ohio County Middle School, with a diversity index of 13.4/100.
Its largest campus is Ohio County Elementary School, enrolling 409 students (49% of the district's total enrollment).
Ohio County Elementary School accounts for 49.2% of all Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com a distant remainder — means Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com school enrollment ranges from 187 students (lowest) to 409 students (highest), a spread of 222 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.
Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com student-counselor ratio is 476:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com chronic absenteeism rate is 3.4% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 825 students.
