Richland-Bean Blossom Community School Corporation (RBB) is a public school corporation located in northwestern Monroe County, Indiana, USA.[3] RBB and Monroe County Community School Corporation are the only two school corporations serving the county.[4] RBB serves Ellettsville, Stinesville, Beanblossom Township, and Richland Township.[5][6] The Richland-Bean Blossom Metropolitan School District was formed in 1963 and became the Richland-Bean Blossom Community School Corporation in 1965.[7] The district is accredited by AdvancED.[8]

The district's budget for 2021 was $28.8 million; a $47,121 loss is expected, but it would not impact RBB until the 2024-25 academic year.[9] In 2021, results from the ILEARN test, a standardized exam introduced to the district in 2019, showed that only 31.7% of students were proficient in both math and English, though the value of these statistics were questioned due to the pandemic's effect on learning.[1]

Edge Alternative School edit

Edge Alternative School (EAS) offers students who did not have the opportunity to graduate on time due to any variety of obstacles a chance to earn high school credit.[34][35] It is considered a dropout prevention program.[36]

Forest Hills Special Education Cooperative edit

Forest Hills Special Education Cooperative in Ellettsville is a collaborative special education program between RBB and Spencer-Owen Community Schools.[37]

Former schools edit

Ellettsville Elementary edit

Ellettsville Elementary closed unceremoniously in the early 2000s despite being one of the state's largest elementary schools in 1993 and became a commercial space known as Eagle's Landing.[38][39] In 2016, Seven Oaks Classical School, a public charter, moved into the building as part of a multi-stage expansion plan.[40]

Stinesville Elementary edit

Due to decreasing enrollment numbers and increasing repair costs, RBB voted to close Stinesville Elementary School at the end of the 2017-2018 academic year despite community protests.[41][42] In 2019, the district sold the vacant building to the town council for $1.[43][44]
