Summary:
The city of La Moille, Illinois is home to two schools - Allen School School, an elementary school, and La Moille Junior/Senior High School, a high school. While the high school has seen fluctuations in its performance, it generally outperforms the elementary school, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools.
Allen School School struggles academically, with very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and math, well below the state averages. In contrast, La Moille Junior/Senior High School performs better, with 40% proficiency in ELA and 25% in math, though still below state levels. The high school also maintains a respectable 89% four-year graduation rate.
Both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates around 25% and a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the district spends more per student at the high school level, the academic outcomes do not seem to match the investment, suggesting potential inefficiencies or other factors impacting the schools' effectiveness. Addressing these issues, such as improving attendance and providing targeted support for disadvantaged students, will be crucial for the district to enhance educational outcomes for all students in La Moille.
