Summary

Pine Ridge Elementary School is a small public school in the rural community of Birdseye, Indiana, serving 235 students in grades PK–4 as part of the Southeast Dubois County School Corp. Its current 2025–26 rating is 3 stars, a step down from 4 stars in 2024–25, though the school has earned 4 or 5 stars in most recent years, including 5 stars in 2020–21.

The school’s standout strengths are family engagement and class size. Chronic absenteeism was 0.0% in 2024–25, compared with 3.7% in the district and 16.7% statewide — lower than every nearby school, including Ireland Elementary School (2.9%) and Nancy Hanks Elementary School (3.2%). Its student–teacher ratio of 14.6 is the lowest among nearby schools, ahead of Holland Elementary School (15.0), Ferdinand Elementary School (17.0), and Huntingburg Elementary School (19.5). Math is the academic bright spot: 61.11% proficiency, above the district’s 59.59%, with both 3rd and 4th grade math above state averages.

ELA and science are the current concerns. All-grade ELA was 47.78% versus the district’s 56.34%, and science was 43.75% versus 58.92%. Fourth grade ELA (39.58%) fell below both district and state, while 3rd grade ELA (57.14%) was well above both. Because the school only tests grades 3 and 4, results swing with small cohorts, so the current dip may be cohort-driven. Compared with nearby schools, Pine Ridge trails Ferdinand, Ireland, and Nancy Hanks academically, but outperforms higher-poverty schools such as Huntingburg, Jasper Elementary School, and West Crawford Elementary School. Against Northeast Dubois Intermediate School, ELA is higher and math nearly identical, while science is lower.
