Summary:
Meridian CUSD 15 is a school district in Illinois that contains one elementary school, Meridian Elementary School, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 477 students.
While Meridian Elementary School's 5th grade Science proficiency rate exceeds the state average, the school struggles academically in other areas. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, and its proficiency rates in ELA and Math across all grade levels fall below state averages. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 36.1% compared to the state's 47.3%, and 5th grade Math proficiency is 34.4% compared to the state's 36.5%. However, the school's per-student spending of $10,435 is in line with the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1 is relatively low, suggesting potential for improvement with the right strategies and resource allocation.
Overall, Meridian CUSD 15 has one elementary school that faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in ELA and Math, as well as high rates of chronic absenteeism. However, the school's strength in 5th grade Science and its relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest areas of potential improvement with the right strategies and resource allocation.
