Dee-Mack Primary/Junior High

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Dee-Mack Primary/Junior High in Mackinaw, Illinois, serves prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolls 432 students in a local group of 11 nearby schools. In 2025–26, about 75% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 47% in math, and 77% of eighth graders in science. The clearest concern for families is math: Dee-Mack is above the state result but well behind the nearby-school average.

ELA is a relative strength: Dee-Mack’s result was about 75%, nearly matching the nearby-school average of about 74%, and close to the Deer Creek-Mackinaw CUSD 701 result of about 76%. Math proficiency was 47%, compared with 51% in the district, 40% statewide, and a 64% nearby-school average; Dee-Mack ranked fourth-lowest among the 11 nearby schools. Eighth-grade science is another strength: 77% were proficient, matching the district and exceeding the statewide result of about 52%. Nearby schools’ science results are for fifth grade, so there is no same-grade local comparison.

Results have improved over time, especially in ELA: proficiency rose from 50% in 2023–24 to 65% in 2024–25 and 75% in 2025–26, a 25-point gain. Math also rose, from 35% to 46% to 47%, but its district comparison shifted from a 9-point Dee-Mack lead in 2023–24 to a 4-point deficit in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism fell from 12% in 2021–22 to 10% in 2025–26, though the latest rate remains above the nearby average. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 13.6, lower than the nearby average of 15.7; 30% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide school rank and star rating were not supplied, so those measures cannot place Dee-Mack in context.
