Summary:
The Dallas Education Service District 327 in Illinois consists of a single school, Dallas City Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 797th out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,161st out of 2,067 in 2023-2024.
Dallas City Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is generally below the state averages, with some exceptions. While the 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate is higher than the state average, the 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate is much lower. The school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grades are higher than the state averages. The school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 71.86% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,180 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes. This could indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and teaching practices to ensure that the available resources are being utilized effectively to support student learning.
