Summary

Dieterich Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 344 students in grades PK-6 in the small town of Dieterich, Illinois. The school consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with 71.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 66.9% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.

Dieterich Elementary School's academic excellence is reflected in its high statewide rankings, reaching as high as 107th out of 2,037 Illinois elementary schools in 2017-2018. The school's performance is particularly strong for male students and white students, who rank in the top 25% and top 33% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for special education students and students of low socioeconomic status is more mixed, with rankings in the middle to lower half of the state. One area of concern is the school's significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.9% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Dieterich Elementary School outperforms Neoga Elementary School and Cumberland Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the nearby Teutopolis Grade School, which is part of the Teutopolis CUSD 50 district, consistently outperforms Dieterich Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels, ranking among the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools.
