Summary

Allendale Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Allendale, Illinois, part of the Allendale CCSD 17 district. With 137 students, the school has received a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, which is lower than the state average.

Allendale Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower test scores than the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 51.1% of students were proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 53.1%, and only 27.3% were proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.9% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Allendale Elementary School serves a high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, with 56.2% to 58.74% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, more than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like West Salem Grade School and Parkside Elementary School, Allendale Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and a lower percentage of low-income students. The school's performance has also declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 659 out of 2,086 schools in 2018-2019 to 1,217 out of 2,056 schools in 2024-2025. To address these challenges, the school could focus on improving student attendance, addressing the needs of low-income and underperforming subgroups, and implementing strategies to raise overall academic achievement, particularly in mathematics.
