Summary

Long Beach Elementary School is a public elementary school in Montgomery, Illinois, serving 654 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cusd 308 district.

While the district and state generally perform well, Long Beach Elementary has consistently underperformed in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 58.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was just 24%, while the district and state scored 43.6% and 38.5%, respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the schools in the same district as Long Beach Elementary (such as Churchill and Old Post) generally outperform Long Beach in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, with some ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools. This suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status and student-teacher ratios may play a role in the school's challenges and should be considered in any improvement strategies.
