Ranked best in Southeast Indiana
(BATESVILLE, Ind.) -- Batesville Schools are leading the way when it comes to third graders who passed the Indiana Reading Evaluation and Determination (IREAD-3) assessment last year.
The school district finished in the top 10 of all schools who took the assessment statewide, according to the Indiana Department of Education.
IREAD-3 is one of the ways schools can determine the number of their students who have mastered foundational reading by the end of the third grade.
“Batesville Intermediate School (BIS) students led southeastern Indiana with an outstanding
pass rate of 97.9%,” said BCSC superintendent Paul Ketcham. “That rate exceeded the state’s
goal of 95%, and earned BCSC an eighth-place ranking in the entire state—third place, if only
public schools are considered. This is a tremendous achievement for our school corporation.”
Nearly one in five Indiana third graders struggle to read, according to information provided by Indiana Department of Education.
