Summary:
Birdseye, Indiana has just one school in this data set: Pine Ridge Elementary School, a small elementary school serving grades PK–4 with 235 students. It is the only elementary, middle, high, or alternative school listed for the city, so families here have a single public option to consider. It belongs to Southeast Dubois County School Corp, a district ranked 42nd of 374 in Indiana — the 89th percentile, with 4 stars.
Pine Ridge's clearest strengths are attendance and math. Chronic absenteeism was 0.0% in 2024–25, compared with 3.7% in the district and 16.7% statewide — an exceptionally low figure. In 2025–26, all-grade math came in at 61.11%, slightly above the district's 59.59%, and both 3rd grade math (64.29%) and 4th grade math (58.33%) were above the state levels of 51.9% and 52%. Third grade English/language arts was a bright spot at 57.14%, above the district by 11.31 points and the state's 40.8% by 16.34 points. In 2024–25 the school ranked 145th of 1,005 schools — 86th percentile, 4 stars. The school also reports a 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio, a 35.32% free/reduced lunch rate, and $9,819 in per-student spending for 2023–24.
The main concerns are recent declines in science and English/language arts. All-grade science in 2025–26 was 43.75%, 15.17 points below the district's 58.92% and down 19.71 points from the school's own 63.46% in 2024–25 — the largest drop in the record. All-grade ELA was 47.78%, 8.56 points below the district's 56.34% and down 11.82 points year over year, with 4th grade ELA at 39.58% versus the district's 50% and the state's 42.2%. Rank also slipped to 322nd of 1,015 — 68th percentile, 3 stars — still above the median and better than 2023–24, but below the 2024–25 peak.
