Summary:
The city of Du Bois, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools that are part of the DuBois Area School District, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools generally perform above the state average, with some standout elementary schools like Wasson Avenue Elementary School and Oklahoma Elementary School ranking among the top in the state.
At the middle and high school levels, DuBois Area Middle School maintains consistent performance, with math and English language arts proficiency rates above the state average and a low dropout rate. However, the district's high school, DuBois Area Senior High School, has seen some fluctuation in its state ranking and test scores, suggesting potential areas for improvement at the secondary level.
One notable challenge facing the district is the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite this, the district's overall performance suggests a solid foundation for student learning, particularly in the early grades. Continued focus on data-driven decision-making and sharing of effective practices across the district could help build on the strengths of the higher-performing schools and address areas for improvement.
