Six SEI Schools Get Four Stars

The Indiana Department of Education has announced its Four Star School award winners.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Several southeastern Indiana schools have been named Four Star Schools by the Indiana Department of Education.

The area schools were among 234 statewide honored for their performance in the 2017-2018 school year.

They include Batesville High School, Batesville Middle School, Lawrenceburg High School, Milan High School, South Ripley Junior High, and East Central High School.

“Receiving designation as a Four Star School reflects academic excellence among students, educators, and the administration,” said Dr. Jennifer McCormick, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction. “I am honored to recognize these Four Star Schools for their hard work and dedication in preparing their students for a bright and prosperous future.”

The Four Star School Award has been in existence for over 30 years. To receive Four Star designation, a school must receive an “A” on the state’s A-F accountability system and have excellent ISTEP pass rates.
