Summary:
ZIP code 47006 covers Batesville, Indiana, where four schools — all part of the Batesville Community School Corp — serve roughly 2,220 students in an unbroken PK–12 pipeline with no grade overlap: Batesville Primary School (PK–2, 542 students), Batesville Intermediate School (3–5, 490), Batesville Middle School (6–8, 507), and Batesville High School (9–12, 681). The district ranks 61 of 374 Indiana districts (84th percentile) with 4 stars, and the ZIP has no alternative schools.
The four schools are not equal contributors to that district rating. Batesville High School is the clear flagship: 87th percentile (55 of 415 high schools, 4 stars), a 98.2% graduation rate against 89.7% statewide, and SAT scores far above state — 66.23 vs. 51.9 in reading/writing and 41.06 vs. 25.6 in math. Batesville Intermediate School has the smallest classes (12.4 students per teacher) and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 1.8%, but the weakest trajectory — its rank percentile has slid 74 → 64 → 62, costing it a star. Batesville Middle School sits at the 76th percentile (down from 82nd) and shows a sharp split: 7th grade reading is 14 points above state while 7th grade math is 6.7 points below. Batesville Primary School has no test or rank data, but spends the least per student ($9,750 vs. the high school's $12,136).
For families, the headline strengths are attendance and high school outcomes. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 1.8% to 8.1% across the ZIP, all well under the state's 16.7%. The pressure points are localized rather than systemic: 4th grade trails the state in reading, math, and science; 7th grade math is a weak spot next to standout 7th grade reading; and Biology end-of-course results look extraordinary at the middle school (96.77%) but low at the high school (45.38%) in the same year — likely reflecting a small, accelerated middle school cohort, so those two numbers shouldn't be compared directly.
