Patricksburg Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 352 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 650 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. The school's academic performance is generally below district and state averages, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies all falling short of the district's results.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,504 in 2023-2024 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, the academic challenges persist. This may be due in part to the high percentage of students (74.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Overall, the data suggests that Patricksburg Elementary School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation, which warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
