The Western Dubuque County Community School District has been recognized as a High Performing District based on the 2025 Iowa School Performance Profiles. This designation reflects consistent instructional practices and a sustained focus on student learning and growth across the district.
In 2025, the State of Iowa introduced district-level performance classifications. Within this framework, Western Dubuque is identified among the top 13% of school districts statewide, affirming the direction of our work and the systems in place to support student success.
This recognition represents continued progress toward our vision of Better Every Day. It is the result of educators committed to strong professional practice, students engaged in meaningful learning, and families and community members who remain active partners in education.
As a district, we remain focused on continuous improvement, responsible use of resources, and creating learning environments that support both academic growth and student well-being. This work will continue as we strive to meet the needs of all learners—today and into the future.
