Summary:
The area served by Northeast Dubois County School Corp in Indiana has two elementary schools covering PK–6: Northeast Dubois Elementary School (PK–2, enrollment 235) and Northeast Dubois Intermediate School (grades 3–6, enrollment 240). Combined elementary enrollment is 475, split almost evenly, and the district is rated 70th of 374 districts — the 81st percentile, 4 stars.
Northeast Dubois Intermediate School stands out in math and social studies. All-grade math proficiency is 60.99%, above the district's 59.59%, and math beats the state at every tested grade, reaching 70% in 3rd grade versus 51.9% statewide. Fifth-grade social studies is 60% versus 47.2% statewide, and science is above state in both tested grades. English Language Arts is the weak spot: all-grade ELA is 37.22%, below the district's 40.71%, and below state in 4th grade (35.62% vs 42.2%) and 5th grade (31.11% vs 42.2%). The math–ELA gap is striking — 23.77 points overall, ranging from 15.56 to 30 points by grade. Its rank has slipped from 241 of 1011 (2023–24) to 324 of 1015 (2025–26), moving from 4 stars to 3. Chronic absenteeism is 6.5%, slightly above the district's 5.8% but far below the state's 16.7%.
Northeast Dubois Elementary School serves PK–2, so it has no current state test scores; that reflects its grade span, not missing or suppressed results. Its strengths are low chronic absenteeism at 5.1% and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1, compared with 17.1 at the Intermediate school. Per-student spending is $14,156, nearly 1.9 times the Intermediate school's $7,589, even though free/reduced lunch is nearly identical at about 31% at both. Its older rank history declined from 2016–2019, but that predates the current PK–2 configuration. Overall, both schools keep absenteeism far below the state rate, while the Intermediate school's math strength contrasts with weaker ELA results.
