Summary:

ZIP code 47639 in Indiana is served by a single public school, Haubstadt Community School, which enrolls 403 students in grades K–8 as part of South Gibson School Corporation — so families here have one school to consider, and there is no separate middle school or high school within the ZIP.

Academically, the school has earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported years (2023–2024 through 2025–2026) and has ranked in the top quarter of Indiana schools, between the 77th and 85th percentiles. Math is the clearest strength: all-grades math proficiency was 70.75% in 2025–2026, above the district's 59.73%, and every reported grade level from 3rd through 8th beat the state rate. Seventh- and eighth-grade math were especially high, at 77.14% and 77.97%, compared with state rates of 35.9% and 34.2%. ELA was more mixed at 53.14% overall — 7th and 8th grade were strong, while 4th and 5th grade fell below both district and state. Fourth grade was a relative weak spot in ELA, math, and science, and all-grades science declined from 63.95% to 54.13% year over year, though it stayed slightly above the district. Fifth-grade social studies improved sharply, from 48.84% to 63.16%, landing 15.96 points above the state.

Attendance stands out: the school's chronic absenteeism rate was 3.9% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 5.4% and far below the state's 16.7%. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 14.64%, per-student spending was $12,181 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.9. The broader district ranks 39th of 374 in Indiana at the 90th percentile, so this school's strong results come from within an already high-performing district. Overall, it is a consistently 4-star school with excellent attendance and standout math, with 4th-grade performance and the recent science dip being the main areas to watch.
