Summary:
ZIP code 47513 in Birdseye, Indiana, contains just one listed public school — Pine Ridge Elementary School — an elementary campus serving grades PK–4 with 235 students in the Southeast Dubois County School Corp. No middle, high, or alternative schools appear in this ZIP code's data, so families here have one in-ZIP option for early grades and would look outside the area for older students.
Pine Ridge's standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was reported at 0.0% in 2024–2025, compared with 3.7% districtwide and 16.7% statewide. Academically, results are mixed. In 2024–2025 the school ranked 145 of 1,005 schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), then slipped to 322 of 1,015 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — still above its 2023–2024 showing of 63rd percentile. All-grade Math held above the district in both years (61.11% vs. 59.59% in 2025–2026), while ELA fell to 47.78% against the district's 56.34%, and Science dropped sharply from 63.46% to 43.75%, well below the district's 58.92%.
Grade-level results show a clear split in 2025–2026: 3rd grade ELA reached 57.14% (district 45.83%, state 40.8%), while 4th grade ELA was 39.58% and 4th grade Science 43.75% — at the state level but below the district's 50%. With 235 students, a 35.32% free/reduced lunch rate, $9,819 per-student spending, and a 14.6 student-teacher ratio, small enrollment changes can shift percentages noticeably. The key takeaway for parents: strong attendance and solid Math, with ELA and Science — particularly in 4th grade — as the areas to watch.
