Summary:
The city of East Dubuque, Illinois is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the East Dubuque Unified School District 119. The standout school in the district appears to be East Dubuque Junior High, which has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Illinois and outperforms the state averages in core academic subjects. In contrast, the district's elementary and high schools face some challenges, with the high school students underperforming the state averages on the SAT.
Across the district, the student populations are predominantly white, ranging from 85.5% at East Dubuque High School to 89.89% at East Dubuque Junior High. Chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, particularly at the high school level, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. The district's spending per student is higher at the high school level compared to the elementary and middle schools, but this does not appear to translate into higher academic outcomes at the high school.
Overall, the data suggests that East Dubuque Junior High is the standout school in the district, while the elementary and high school face some challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the junior high's success and the high school's underperformance could provide valuable insights for the district.
