Summary

Du Quoin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 586 students in grades PK-4 in Du Quoin, Illinois, which is part of the Du Quoin CUSD 300 district. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the IAR exams, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with 40.8% of all grades proficient or better in ELA and 37.8% in math, compared to 56.7% and 32.1% for the district, respectively.

Du Quoin Elementary School has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.6% to 29.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 17%. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 54.73% to 57.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is higher than the state average and suggests that the school faces additional challenges in supporting its student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Sesser-Valier Elementary School and Pinckneyville Elementary School, Du Quoin Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower, with those schools having higher proficiency rates and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates and high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds appear to be a regional trend, suggesting that the challenges faced by Du Quoin Elementary School may be influenced by broader economic and social factors in the surrounding area.
