Summary:
The city of Saunemin, Illinois, is home to a single school, Saunemin Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Saunemin CCSD 438 school district, which is ranked 642 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Saunemin Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding state averages, while others fall short. For example, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate (50%) was slightly higher than the state average (51.2%) in 2024-2025, and its 5th grade science proficiency rate (50%) was higher than the state average (40.6%) in the same year. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is relatively high, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite these academic performance issues, Saunemin Elementary School appears to have a relatively high level of funding, spending $23,830 per student in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, suggesting a high level of individual attention for students. However, with over 56% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student body.
