DuBois Area School District

The DuBois Area School District consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly white student population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite these challenges, the district generally outperforms the state averages on academic assessments, with several standout schools leading the way.

Oklahoma Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the district and state, with strong test scores, particularly in math and science. Juniata Elementary School also stands out, with the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools and high science proficiency rates. At the middle school level, DuBois Area Middle School has seen steady improvement in its state ranking and maintains a 0% dropout rate.

While the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, the schools generally perform well academically. However, there are disparities in student-teacher ratios across the district, and the schools' state rankings have fluctuated over the past few years, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the factors driving these changes and implementing strategies to maintain consistent high performance.
