Dupo High School has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 68.9% in 2019-2020 to 85.5% in 2023-2024, though this is still below the state average. The school's dropout rate has fluctuated, with the most recent rate of 4.0% in 2023-2024 being lower than the state average. However, Dupo High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 45.7% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages, with only 8.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 26.1%.

Dupo High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students and White students performing better than the overall student population. The school's performance for Special Education and Homeless students is particularly concerning. Compared to nearby high schools, such as Belleville High School-West and Columbia High School, Dupo High School's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better academic achievement. Despite the increased per-student spending at Dupo High School, from $9,527 in 2020-2021 to $17,602 in 2022-2023, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
