Straddling both Ripley and Franklin counties, Batesville is also smack dab between two major metropolitans - Indianapolis and Cincinnati. What began as a farming town quickly turned to railroad construction in 1852, after the John Callahan Trust Company bought the land from an area farmer. Today, the manufacturing of hospital and health care equipment is the city’s largest economic industry. Aside from its many dining establishments, residents enjoy sports, hiking, and more at Liberty Park and Brums Woods. Easy access to I-74 makes commuting ideal for locals.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
