Summary:
The 62239 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Community Unit School District No 196. The standout school in the area is Dupo Junior High School, which outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency. However, all three schools, including Bluffview Elementary School and Dupo High School, struggled with Mathematics proficiency, an area that warrants further attention.
The schools in the 62239 zip code area face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and significant socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients. These factors may contribute to the academic performance of the schools, which is generally below the state average in Mathematics. Additionally, the district appears to allocate more funding to the secondary schools, with Dupo High School and Dupo Junior High School spending more per student than Bluffview Elementary School.
Overall, the schools in the 62239 zip code area present a mixed picture, with Dupo Junior High School standing out as a strong performer in English Language Arts, but all schools struggling with Mathematics proficiency and facing challenges related to attendance and socioeconomic factors. The district's funding allocation and focus on upper-grade education may also be areas for further examination and potential improvement.
