Summary:
The city of Dahlgren, Illinois is home to a single public elementary school, Dahlgren Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 147 students. The school is part of the Hamilton County CUSD 10 district, which is ranked 474 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dahlgren Elementary School appears to be a relatively average school within the state of Illinois. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average test scores in certain grade levels and subjects, it also faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and lower-than-average test scores in other areas. The school's academic performance is inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas, with the school excelling in certain areas, such as 6th-grade English Language Arts and 5th-grade science, but struggling in others, like 6th-grade math.
Additionally, the school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 50.34%, suggests that a significant portion of the student population faces economic challenges, which may impact their academic performance and educational outcomes. The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% is also a concern and may be a contributing factor to the inconsistent academic performance. While Dahlgren Elementary School outperforms the state average in some areas, it is not consistently the top performer within its own district, indicating that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and collaborate with other high-performing schools in the Hamilton County CUSD 10 district.
