Dupree School District 64-2 has three schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12, with 366 students: 203 at Dupree Elementary, 52 at Dupree Junior High and 111 at Dupree High School. The main takeaway is that every available 2025–26 test result is below its matching state rate: elementary and junior-high all-grades ELA are 29% and 16%, compared with 49% statewide; elementary math is 27%, versus 44%; and high-school ACT ELA and science are 30% and 25%, versus 48% and 45% statewide.

Dupree Elementary stands out for the strongest reported all-grades ELA result, 13 percentage points above Dupree Junior High (29% versus 16%); elementary also has the highest reported all-grades math result at 27%. Junior high has the lowest reported ELA result, 8 points below the district’s 24% and 33 points below the state. Within elementary, third-grade ELA is a relative bright spot at 38%, just 5 points below the state; fifth-grade ELA and math are both 20%. Dupree High School has a graduation rate of 89%, slightly above the state’s 88%, although its dropout rate is 5% versus 2% statewide. High-school ACT results are not directly comparable with the elementary and junior-high scores.
