Summary

East Dubuque High School is a public high school serving 181 students in grades 9-12 in East Dubuque, Illinois, which is part of the East Dubuque Unified School District 119. The school consistently outperforms the state average in ACT/SAT proficiency rates for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and its 9th and 10th-grade students also perform well on the PreACT Secure assessments.

East Dubuque High School has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.3% to 89.0% over the past few years, which is above the state average. The school's dropout rate has also steadily declined from 6.3% in 2021-2022 to 2.4% in 2024-2025, indicating a strong focus on student retention and success. However, the school's performance has fluctuated in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 153 out of 642 Illinois high schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 416 out of 699 in 2021-2022, though it has maintained a 3 or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period.

While the school's overall performance is strong, there are some concerning disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school's male students have consistently outperformed their female counterparts, and the school's special education students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 51 out of 493 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022. However, the school's white students and low socioeconomic status students have struggled in recent years, ranking lower in the state compared to other subgroups. The school may need to address these disparities through targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
