Summary

South Ripley Elementary School in Versailles, IN is a PK–6 school serving 581 students in the South Ripley Com School Corp, making it the largest elementary school among the nearby schools compared here. Its district ranks 45th of 374 Indiana districts (88th percentile, 4 stars), and the school itself ranked 154th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 85th percentile, with 4 stars. That is the highest reported rank among nearby schools with rank data, ahead of Dillsboro Elementary (83rd percentile), Brush Creek Elementary (71st), Sunman Elementary (68th), and Batesville Intermediate (62nd).

Academically, 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was 57.95% in English language arts, 62.58% in math, and 54.49% in science. Every reported grade-level result beat the state, with the largest gaps in 3rd- and 4th-grade math, 5th- and 6th-grade ELA, and 5th-grade social studies, which stood out at 69.84% against the state's 47.2% — higher than every nearby school. Chronic absenteeism was just 4.6% in 2024–2025, below the district's 8.5% and the state's 16.7%, and down from 12.0% two years earlier. Only Batesville Intermediate (1.8%) and Dillsboro (4.0%) had lower rates.
