Northeast Dubois County School Corp

Northeast Dubois County School Corp is a small rural Indiana district with three schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade — Northeast Dubois Elementary School (PK–2), Northeast Dubois Intermediate School (3–6), and Northeast Dubois Junior/Senior High School (7–12) — enrolling 833 students total. The district ranks 70th of 374 Indiana districts, the 81st percentile, with 4 stars.

Climate and completion results are the district's strongest story. The high school posts a 100.0% graduation rate against 89.7% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is 5.8% district-wide versus 16.7% statewide, with every school under 7%: 5.1% at the PK–2 elementary (lowest in the district), 5.8% at the high school, and 6.5% at the intermediate. Math in grades 3–8 is another clear strength. The intermediate school is above state in every tested grade — 3rd grade 70.0% vs. 51.9%, 4th 58.9% vs. 52.0%, 5th 55.56% vs. 42.0%, and 6th 57.78% vs. 40.2% — while the high school posts 8th-grade math at 61.54% vs. 34.2% and 8th-grade ELA at 59.62% vs. 44.0%. SAT results are more modest: ERW is 45.0% vs. 51.9% and math 25.0% vs. 25.6%.

English/language arts is the more uneven subject. The intermediate school's all-grade ELA (37.22%) trails the district (40.71%), with 4th grade at 35.62% and 5th at 31.11%, both below state. Resource levels differ sharply: the PK–2 elementary spends $14,156 per student while the intermediate spends $7,589 and carries the highest student/teacher ratio at 17.1, yet produces the district's best math outcomes. Several scores slipped from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, notably intermediate science (60.0% to 49.15%), and rank history has moved around, from the 85th percentile at the high school in 2023–2024 to 68th in 2025–2026.
