Summary

Table Mound Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dubuque, Iowa, serving 407 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Dubuque Community School District. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families.

Compared to other elementary schools in the district, such as Eisenhower Elementary and Carver Elementary, Table Mound's academic performance is generally lower. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 152 out of 603 Iowa elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 459 out of 576 in 2024-2025. This concerning trend suggests that the school's challenges may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Table Mound, the school's academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the investment. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach to addressing the school's challenges, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates and the influence of socioeconomic factors, may be necessary to improve student performance.
