OHIO COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Ohio County Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Rising Sun-Ohio Co Com school district, located in Rising Sun, IN with about 364 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 25 teachers, Ohio County Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Ohio County Elementary School, located at 436 S. Mulberry St. in Rising Sun, Indiana, serves as the primary educational facility for young students in the Ohio County Community School Corporation. The school is situated in a small, tight-knit riverfront community, which allows for a supportive environment where staff and families often work closely together to foster student development. As the central elementary hub for the county, the school focuses on providing a foundational education that balances core academic subjects like literacy and mathematics with opportunities for social and emotional growth.

Beyond the standard curriculum, the school is integrated into the unique culture of Rising Sun, emphasizing local community values and a personalized approach to learning. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio compared to larger urban districts, the school aims to ensure that each child receives individual attention to help them meet state academic standards. The facility serves as an essential pillar of the community, committed to preparing its students for their transition to the middle and high school levels while cultivating a sense of local pride and educational readiness.
