Summary

South Ripley High School in Versailles, IN, is a public high school serving grades 9–12 with 358 students as part of the South Ripley Com School Corp in a small-town, rural part of southeastern Indiana. It ranks 138th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 (67th percentile, 3 stars), up from the 28th percentile (1 star) in 2022–2023. Its district ranks higher overall, at the 88th percentile (4 stars), so the high school has improved but still trails its district’s overall standing.

For parents, the clearest academic strength is biology: 59.46% proficiency in 2025–2026, up from 11.34% in 2022–2023 and higher than nearby Batesville High School (45.38%), South Dearborn High School (46.83%), Milan High School (48.31%), and Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School (38.57%). Graduation is strong at 96.4%, above the state’s 89.7%, though below Batesville (98.2%), Milan (98.7%), and Jac-Cen-Del (97.7%). Chronic absenteeism improved dramatically from 48.3% in 2021–2022 to 14.2% in 2024–2025, better than the state (16.7%) but still above the district’s 8.5% and above Batesville, Milan, and Jac-Cen-Del. The biggest concern is SAT Math: 19.44%, below the state (25.6%) and below Batesville (41.06%), South Dearborn (23.57%), and Milan (21.31%), though above Jac-Cen-Del (10.94%). SAT Reading/Writing is 48.61%, below the state (51.9%) and Batesville and South Dearborn, but above Milan and Jac-Cen-Del; it also slipped from 58.43% the prior year.

South Ripley spends more per student ($14,562) and has a higher student/teacher ratio (16.6) than these nearby schools, yet Batesville gets stronger SAT results with lower spending and much lower free/reduced lunch eligibility (24.67% vs. South Ripley’s 46.65%). Jac-Cen-Del has similar demographics but trails South Ripley in SAT and biology results and overall rank. One unusual data point: special education subgroup performance swung from the 80th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–2025 to the 0th percentile (0 stars) in 2025–2026, which may reflect small subgroup sizes or other changes and should be viewed cautiously. Overall, South Ripley is improving, with strong biology, graduation, and absenteeism gains, but math remains its biggest gap.
