With 13 full-time equivalent teachers, the school maintains an impressive 8.8:1 student-teacher ratio, allowing for more individualized attention and smaller class sizes than typically found in larger districts. The school has earned recognition for its performance, receiving a 7.3 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout and ranking #1453 out of 8598 schools statewide, placing it in the 83rd percentile among Texas schools.

What Parents Should Know

While current test scores at Batesville School are below average, the school shows strong growth metrics — meaning students are making above-average progress year over year. This upward trajectory can be a positive indicator for families who value a school's ability to help students improve, even if absolute scores haven't caught up yet.
