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 was 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]
