Best Public Schools in Piper City, IL

Summary:

The city of Piper City, Illinois has one school serving grades 4-8 - Tri-Point Junior High/Elementary. This school is part of the Tri Point CUSD 6-J school district, which is ranked 436 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tri-Point Junior High/Elementary has a student enrollment of 145 and generally performs below the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the IAR exams, with some exceptions. The school stands out in 5th grade ELA and Mathematics proficiency, significantly outperforming the state averages. However, the school struggles in other grade levels, particularly in Mathematics. The school's performance on the ISA science assessment is mixed, with 5th grade students performing better than 8th grade students compared to state averages. The school has a high percentage of students (82.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which suggest access to more resources compared to the state average, this does not necessarily translate to higher academic performance across all grade levels. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is an area of concern and may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges observed in some grade levels. Identifying the root causes of the performance gaps and implementing targeted interventions could be a focus for the school and district to improve overall student outcomes.
