Summary

East Dubuque Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 351 students in grades PK-6 in East Dubuque, Illinois. It is part of the East Dubuque Unified School District 119, which is ranked 183 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Dubuque Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school had 72.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and 59.4% in Math, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. The school also has a relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 40.46% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance for this subgroup is exceptional, ranking 81 out of 1,800 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025.

Compared to the nearby Scales Mound Elementary School and Galena Elementary and Middle School, East Dubuque Elementary outperforms both in terms of overall test scores and student subgroup performance. However, Scales Mound has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and Galena has a higher per-student spending level. East Dubuque Elementary's ability to support and enable high academic achievement for its low-SES student population is particularly noteworthy and could provide valuable insights for other schools serving similar demographics.
