Summary:
The 52001 zip code area of Dubuque, Iowa is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Dubuque Community School District. The district is ranked 262 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in educational outcomes.
Within this area, a few schools stand out in performance. Eisenhower Elementary School is the top performer, ranking 255 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. It boasts strong test scores, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math. Hoover Elementary School also performs well, ranking 408 out of 576 and earning a 1-star rating, with particularly strong science scores. In contrast, Prescott Elementary and Audubon Elementary struggle significantly, with much lower test scores and rankings.
The data reveals significant disparities in performance across the schools, which may be correlated with socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have the lowest test scores and rankings. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% across all schools is a concern and may be contributing to the overall lower performance of some schools. As the Dubuque Community School District as a whole is underperforming, addressing these challenges will be crucial to ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the 52001 zip code area.
