Summary:
Batesville Community School Corp has a single middle school: Batesville Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 507 students in Batesville, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the district, it is the district's whole middle-school story — there is no second campus to compare it against. The surrounding district, Batesville Community School Corp, is one of Indiana's stronger districts, ranked 61st of 374 (84th percentile, 4 stars), and the school itself earned 4 stars and ranked 118th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026 (76th percentile).
Academics are strong in reading, science, and biology, and mixed in math. ELA is above the state at every grade: 6th grade 44.76% vs 41.3%, 7th grade 55.56% vs 41.7% (+13.86 points, the standout), and 8th grade 48.5% vs 44%. Science is 49.65% overall, 8.45 points above the state's 41.2%, and Biology end-of-course results jumped from 86.05% in 2024–2025 (state 45.6%) to 96.77% in 2025–2026. Math is the watch area: 7th grade is 29.24%, 6.66 points below the state's 35.9%, while 8th grade is a bright spot at 50.6%, 16.4 points above the state's 34.2%. Overall scores dipped slightly from 2024–2025 in ELA (-2.9), math (-2.89), and science (-4.11), while Biology rose 10.72 points.
Family-facing indicators are excellent. Chronic absenteeism is 5.3% — barely a third of Indiana's 16.7% and in line with the district's 5.4%. About 30.97% of students (roughly 157) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, spending is $10,805 per student (about $5.48 million total), and the student-teacher ratio is 14.9:1 (about 34 teachers). Rankings have stayed in the top quartile with 4 stars for three straight years: 112th of 491, then 87th of 480, then 118th of 486. The takeaway: a consistently high-performing middle school with standout science and attendance, and 7th grade math the area to watch.
