Summary:
Versailles, Indiana is served by a single public school district, South Ripley Com School Corp, which operates three schools — one elementary serving PK–6, one junior high serving grades 7–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12 — with roughly 1,100 students enrolled across them. The district ranks 45th out of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 88th percentile with 4 stars.
Among the three, South Ripley Junior High School holds the strongest current ranking: 67th out of 486 schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), though it previously ranked 30th out of 491 (94th percentile, 5 stars). South Ripley Elementary School is close behind at 154th out of 1,015 (85th percentile, 4 stars) and has held 4 stars for three straight years, with chronic absenteeism of just 4.6% — far below the state's 16.7%. South Ripley High School ranks 138th out of 415 (67th percentile, 3 stars) but is the most improved, climbing from 2 stars and the 36th percentile; its graduation rate of 96.4% is well above the state's 89.7%.
The clearest concern is math in the upper grades. Elementary math proficiency is 62.58%, with 3rd grade math at 77.78% and 4th grade at 72.5%, but junior high math falls to 42.45% and high school SAT Math is 19.44% proficient, below the state's 25.6%. High school SAT reading and writing also slipped below the state. Chronic absenteeism rises with grade level — 4.6% in elementary, 9.6% in junior high, and 14.2% in high school — though all three remain below the state's 16.7%. Notably, the junior high has the highest per-student spending ($15,418) and the smallest classes (a ratio of 10.3) yet math results below the district, while the elementary has the lowest spending ($11,642) and strong outcomes.
