Summary:
The Duke High School is the sole high school serving the Duke area, providing education for grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 59 students. While the school's ranking has declined in recent years, from 334 out of 431 in 2023-2024 to 239 out of 463 in 2024-2025, it maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Duke High School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the state averages, particularly in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% and chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% also suggest areas for improvement. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a high socioeconomic need, with over 59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,338 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1, the data indicates that Duke High School may not be effectively allocating its resources to improve student outcomes. The school's declining performance and the disparity between its resource allocation and student outcomes suggest that further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to provide a high-quality education for the students in the Duke community.
