Summary:
The Dubuque Community School District is home to 12 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 255 to 566. While the district has several standout schools, there are also significant disparities in academic performance across the schools.
Bryant Elementary School and Carver Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state. These schools have exceptional test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, schools like Prescott Elementary School and Audubon Elementary School struggle, with less than 50% of students proficient or better in many subject areas.
The data reveals a significant gap in performance between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, which may be related to factors such as socioeconomic status, teacher quality, or resource allocation. While some schools are excelling, the district as a whole has room for improvement, and by identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools, the district may be able to raise the overall level of academic achievement for all students.
