Summary

South Ripley Junior High School is a small grades 7–8 middle school in Versailles, Indiana, serving 161 students as part of South Ripley Com School Corp. In 2025–26 it ranked 67th of 486 Indiana schools (86th percentile) with 4 stars, and its district ranked 45th of 374 districts. It earned 5 stars in 2023–24 and 2022–23, then settled at 4 stars. Its 2024–25 chronic absenteeism rate was 9.6%, below the state’s 16.7%, and 57.76% of students received free/reduced-price lunch. It spent $15,418 per student in 2023–24 and had a 10.3 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, the highest spending and smallest classes among nearby schools.

ELA is the standout. South Ripley Junior High School’s 2025–26 all-grade ELA proficiency was 60.43%, higher than Batesville Middle School (49.90%), Milan Middle School (41.45%), South Dearborn Middle School (31.11%), and Milan Intermediate School (28.37%). Its 7th-grade ELA rate was 62.50% and 8th-grade ELA 58.21%. Math is more mixed: all-grade math was 42.45%, slightly above Batesville Middle School (41.91%) and well above Milan Middle School (28.95%) and South Dearborn Middle School (21.85%), but below Milan Intermediate School (45.39%) and its district’s 56.24%. Its 7th-grade math (43.06%) led the nearby 7–8 group, while 8th-grade math (41.79%) trailed Batesville Middle School (50.60%). Both grade-level math rates still exceeded state figures.

Math is the clearest concern: all-grade math proficiency declined from 53.7% in 2023–24 to 47.62% in 2024–25 and 42.45% in 2025–26, and it trails the district in every recent year. Attendance is a relative strength, improving from 33.3% chronic absenteeism in 2021–22 to 9.6% in 2024–25—lower than South Dearborn Middle School (13.4%) and Milan Middle School (10.4%), though higher than Batesville Middle School (5.3%) and Milan Intermediate School (8.6%). The closest comparison is Milan Middle School, which also serves grades 7–8 and has nearly the same enrollment (159 vs. 161); South Ripley Junior High School outperformed it in every tested grade and subject in 2025–26. Despite high per-student spending and small classes, math has not improved at the same pace as ELA. Recent science data are limited, so ask the school for current results.
