Summary

Dundee Middle School is a public middle school located in Dundee, Illinois, serving 1,174 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of Community Unit School District 300, which is ranked 433 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dundee Middle School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, 60.6% of Dundee Middle School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, 44% of Dundee Middle School students were proficient or better, compared to 38.8% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also performs well across various student subgroups, ranking 134th out of 186 Illinois middle schools for Asian students, 140th out of 574 for African American students, and 237th out of 1,229 for students of low socioeconomic status.

However, Dundee Middle School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.5% in the 2022-2023 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. This is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Additionally, while Dundee Middle School generally outperforms nearby schools in the same district, such as Algonquin Middle School, it lags behind some higher-performing schools in other districts, such as Marlowe Middle School and Prairie Knolls Middle School, which are part of the Huntley Community School District 158.
