Summary:
The Marengo-Union E Cons D 165 school district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 8th grade across 3 schools: Locust Elementary School, Marengo Community Middle School, and Ulysses S Grant Intermediate School. The district serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 52.52% to 57.62%.
Locust Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with the highest test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and the highest spending per student at $12,087. Marengo Community Middle School also performs well, with English Language Arts scores above the district and state averages, and Mathematics scores above the district average.
In contrast, Ulysses S Grant Intermediate School has the lowest test scores among the three schools, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in both subjects. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is also an area of concern that should be addressed, as consistent attendance is crucial for student learning and academic success.
