Summary:
The 62832 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Du Quoin Elementary School, Du Quoin High School, and Du Quoin Middle School - all part of the Du Quoin CUSD 300 district. While the middle school stands out academically, the other schools face challenges in student performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
Among the three schools, Du Quoin Middle School is the highest-ranked, performing significantly better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency. However, its math proficiency rates lag behind. In contrast, Du Quoin High School has the lowest graduation rate and the highest dropout rate, while also underperforming the district and state in SAT Math and English Language Arts.
Across the schools, high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggest the need for additional support and resources to address these challenges. Analyzing the factors behind the fluctuating statewide rankings and implementing targeted interventions could help improve the overall educational outcomes for the district.
