Summary:

Zip code 47542 is home to one elementary school, Huntingburg Elementary School, which serves students in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. This public school is part of the Southwest Dubois County School Corp, a district that is generally well-regarded, ranking 92nd out of 380 districts in Indiana with a 4-star rating.

Huntingburg Elementary School has an enrollment of 759 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20.5. The school serves a significant population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 57.58% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, with a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 and 2020-2021, and a 2-star rating in 2021-2022. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which can impact student learning.

While 5th grade Social Studies proficiency (36.43%) is higher than the district average, it still falls short of the state average. There has also been a general decline in ELA and Math proficiency from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, with notable drops in 3rd grade ELA and Math.
