Summary:
The Blue Ridge CUSD 18 district in Illinois has one elementary school, Ruth M Schneider Elementary School, which serves grades PK-3 and has an enrollment of 265 students.
Ruth M Schneider Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades are 48.3% and 50% respectively, lower than the district and state averages. However, the 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math are 48.3% and 50%, higher than the district and state. The school spends $16,529 per student, more than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 13.2, lower than the state average.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (52.08%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and outcomes. While the school is allocating significant resources to support student learning, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into optimal student outcomes, particularly in the upper grades. The school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the challenges of high chronic absenteeism and improve overall academic achievement.
