St. Mary Catholic School DeKalb is a private preschool, kindergarten, elementary school and junior high ​that builds a solid academic foundation for student's future success. Our average student to teacher ratio is 1:18. 
When we ask parents why they continue to send their children to St. Mary and the common themes are
faith based, virtues, and academics. ​Starting in grade three, our students take the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills in September, one month into the school year. The below charts indicates the grade the student is in and the grade level they test in that subject. We are incredibly proud of how hard our students work.
