Summary:
ZIP code 62207 has two elementary schools: Dunbar Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 4, and Lalumier Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 3. The 2025–2026 all-grades and third-grade results for Lalumier are state-suppressed, so the latest data cannot show which school currently leads. The clearest shared-year comparison shows both schools below state proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and math, even though Dunbar scored higher in both subjects.
Dunbar stands out in the available 2024–2025 all-grades comparison: ELA proficiency was 31%, compared with 11% at Lalumier, a 20-point lead; math was 20% versus 7%, a 13-point lead. Both schools were below state results of 53% in ELA and 39% in math. Dunbar was 22 points below the state in ELA and 19 points below in math; Lalumier was 42 and 32 points below, respectively. These all-grades results combine different grade spans, so they provide context rather than a same-grade comparison.
Dunbar’s 2025–2026 all-grades ELA rose 5 points from the prior year to 36%, while the state rose 3 points; its gap to the state narrowed by 2 points. Math fell 4 points to 16% as the state rose 1 point, widening Dunbar’s state gap by 5 points. SchoolDigger’s Dunbar percentile moved from 16th in 2023–2024 to 19th in 2024–2025 and 12th in 2025–2026; Lalumier’s supplied history is older, declining from the 30th to the 15th percentile between 2009–2010 and 2011–2012. Other differences may matter to families: in 2024–2025, Dunbar’s student-teacher ratio was 12.1, compared with Lalumier’s 21.3. Dunbar’s 2024–2025 low-income measure was all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility); Lalumier reported 91% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, which is a different measure.
