Summary

Sageville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dubuque, Iowa, serving 309 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dubuque Community School District, which is ranked 262 out of 313 districts in the state.

Sageville Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from a high of 167 out of 603 Iowa elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 414 out of 565 in 2022-2023. The school's current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 363 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. Sageville's performance is generally lower than the nearby Bryant Elementary School, which has consistently higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking. However, Sageville outperforms some of the lower-performing schools in the district, such as Hoover Elementary, Marshall Elementary, and Prescott Elementary, which have significantly lower test scores and statewide rankings.

Sageville Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency, but also areas of concern, such as lower 5th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 26.6% in recent years, may be a significant factor contributing to its lower academic performance and should be addressed. Further analysis of the school's resource allocation and strategies to support student learning could help identify opportunities for improvement.
