Batesville, In. — Batesville High School has been awarded “Silver Status” for their performance in the Dual Credit program. During the 2015-16 school year 52 percent of students earned at least one college credit hour.

Dual-credit courses provide students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school, potentially saving future tuition costs. Dual-credit courses are taught by high school or college educators at a high school, college or university, or through online courses. These college-level courses are offered by both state and independent colleges and universities.
