Summary:
The 62828 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Dahlgren Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with 144 students. The school is part of the Hamilton County CUSD 10 district, which is ranked 437 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dahlgren Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school excels in certain grade levels, such as 4th grade ELA proficiency (83.3%) being higher than the district (67.6%) and state (51.2%) averages, it struggles in others, with overall ELA and Math proficiency rates generally lower than the district and state. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch (58.33%) suggest it may serve a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the lower academic performance in some areas.
Despite the lower academic performance in some areas, Dahlgren Elementary School appears to be well-resourced, with higher spending per student ($10,858) and a lower student-teacher ratio (13.5 to 1) than the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's performance, and there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements to support student success.
