Summary:
Ridgeview CUSD 19 district in Illinois contains a single elementary school, Ridgeview Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance and academic achievement, while not the worst in the state, are below average compared to other Illinois elementary schools.
Ridgeview Elementary School is ranked 1150 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has been relatively consistent, with rankings between 1413 and 1449 over the past three school years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 45.9%, which is lower than the state average of 53.1%, and in Mathematics, the percentage of students proficient or better was 30.6%, significantly lower than the state average of 38.5%.
The school's high percentage of students (40.48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, and its elevated chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average, suggest that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and higher per-student spending than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization.
