Summary

Dee-Mack High School is a public high school located in Mackinaw, Illinois, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 289 students. The school is part of the Deer Creek-Mackinaw CUSD 701 district and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past several years, currently ranking 232nd out of 698 Illinois high schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dee-Mack High School has maintained strong four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.7% to 96.8% in recent years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the nearby schools. The school's dropout rates have also been relatively low, ranging from 2.4% to 3.4%. However, Dee-Mack High School has seen some fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 14.2% to 26.3%, an area where the school could potentially improve compared to the surrounding schools. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, but lag behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools like Eureka High School and Washington Community High School.

When compared to the nearby high schools, Dee-Mack High School generally performs well, but there are a few standout schools that outperform it. The school's spending per student has increased over the past few years, from $11,701 in 2020-2021 to $15,382 in 2023-2024, which is on the higher end compared to some of the nearby schools, but it does not seem to have translated into significantly higher academic performance. Dee-Mack High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 11.9 in recent years, which may contribute to the school's ability to provide more individualized attention to students.
