Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the Dallas Education Service District 327 in Illinois: Dallas City Elementary School. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other Illinois elementary schools.
Over the past three school years, Dallas City Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 841 out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,161 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024. This decline is reflected in the school's SchoolDigger star rating, which has dropped from 3 to 2 stars. While the school's Science proficiency rates are higher than the state averages, its English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates are generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels, with some exceptions.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 73.37% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $15,461, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9. These resources could be leveraged to address the academic performance challenges and support student success, particularly in the core academic areas of ELA and Mathematics.
