Batesville Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (around 30%) compared to nearby schools like Franklin County Middle School and Greensburg Community Junior High, which have more diverse student populations and higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

Batesville Middle School's strong academic performance, low student-to-teacher ratio (13.3-14.6), and higher per-student spending ($9,639 in 2021-2022) compared to nearby schools suggest that the school is well-resourced and committed to providing a high-quality education. This is reflected in the school's consistently high rankings and its ability to outperform the state and district averages in key academic areas, despite serving a more affluent and homogeneous student population compared to the surrounding region.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
