The city of Dupo, Illinois is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school - all part of Community Unit School District No 196. While the district faces some challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, there are also some bright spots, particularly at Dupo Junior High School.

Dupo Junior High School stands out for its relatively strong performance on standardized tests, with 48.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 61.9% proficient or better in Science across all grades, exceeding district and state averages. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which may contribute to its academic success.

The district's high school, Dupo High School, lags behind the state average in both Math and ELA on the SAT.

Across the district, there are concerns about high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.1% at Bluffview Elementary to 38.6% at Dupo Junior High. Additionally, all three schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending suggest that the district has resources that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes, if the underlying challenges can be addressed.
