Summary:
The Dallas Education Service District 327 in Illinois contains only one school, Dallas City Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 841 out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,161 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing from 3 to 2 stars.
Dallas City Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions. While the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate is higher than the state average (42.9% vs. 37.8%), its ELA proficiency rates in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades are significantly lower. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. However, the school's Science proficiency rate for all grades is higher than the state average (65.8% vs. 53.2%).
The school serves a relatively high-need student population, with 73.37% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting a relatively small class size. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the unique educational needs of the school's student population.
