Summary

Bluffview Elementary School serves 501 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in Dupo, Illinois, as part of Community Unit School District No. 196. Its academic results are uneven: English language arts (ELA) is above the state average overall, while math is below it. The clearest takeaway is that fifth-grade science is a standout, but math results in grades four through six are a concern.

Bluffview’s strongest reported subject result is fifth-grade science: 66% of students were proficient, 18 percentage points above the state’s fifth-grade result. Its all-grades ELA proficiency was 59%, compared with 56% statewide and 62% in the district. Math proficiency was 30%, below the state’s 40% and the district’s 32%. That overall math figure hides a sharp grade-level contrast: third-grade math was 54%, above the state’s 49%, while grades four, five and six were 19%, 22% and 24%, respectively. Among nearby schools with reported all-grades results, Bluffview was above the five-school average in both ELA (59% versus 33%) and math (30% versus 23%), but Parkview Elementary School scored higher in both subjects. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so these overall comparisons are not fully like for like.

ELA proficiency climbed from 44% in 2023–24 to 59% in 2025–26, while math rose and then fell, ending at 30% after reaching 38% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger placed Bluffview at the 45th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, down from the 58th percentile and 3 stars the year before. Its student-teacher ratio was 12.9 in 2024–25, and 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was notably higher than the schoolwide ranking: the 77th percentile versus the 45th. For White Students, its ranking was lower, at the 18th percentile.

This School has issues with bullying and them doing nothing about it. They over look the issues and the NO HANDS ON POLICY. When students bully or put their hands on others and nothing is done the kids feel frightened to go to School to receive a education and have emotional scaring. Nothing is done with the bully but the victim is punished instead. The safety of ALL students is not this Schools concern. The positive, safe , social setting is not in the core values. Close Quote
