Summary

Huntingburg Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Huntingburg, Indiana, serving 806 students in the Southwest Dubois County School Corp. The district ranks 77th out of 374 Indiana districts (79th percentile, 4 stars), while the school's 2025–26 ranking is 477th out of 1,015 elementary schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars)—near the state median but below its district. That is a rebound from the 41st percentile in 2024–25, achieved while serving a high-poverty population: 61.17% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25.

Nearby comparisons show Huntingburg is one of the area's largest elementaries, behind only Jasper Elementary School, with a 19.5 student–teacher ratio—the highest locally except Lincoln Trail Elementary School at 19.7. It spends $8,744 per student, less than every nearby school except Lincoln Trail; Jasper Elementary ($10,946) and Holland Elementary School ($10,414) spend more. Within the same district, Holland ranks in the 87th percentile with 4 stars, lower poverty (41.8%), and all-grade ELA, Math, and Science proficiency 13–22 points higher. Huntingburg's chronic absenteeism of 8.4% is below Indiana's 16.7% but higher than every nearby school in the group. Compared with Otwell Miller Academy, which has a similar poverty rate (61.68%), Huntingburg's ELA and Math proficiency is clearly higher.

Academically, Huntingburg trails its district in every reported all-grade subject—ELA by about 2 points, Math by about 8, Science by about 4, and 5th-grade Social Studies by about 6. Against the state, 4th- and 5th-grade ELA and 3rd-grade Math are above average, while 4th- and 5th-grade Math, 4th-grade Science, and 5th-grade Social Studies fall below; Social Studies is the largest gap at roughly 9 points. Math and Social Studies are the clearest priorities. Still, all-grade results improved from the prior year: ELA rose from 35.81% to 43.26%, Math from 38.2% to 46.82%, and Science from 35.43% to 41.32%, though Math remains below its 2022–23 level.
