Summary:
The La Harpe Central School District 347 in Illinois consists of a single school, La Harpe Elementary School, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 190 students. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high student-teacher ratio and spending per student, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages.
La Harpe Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were below the state averages, with the exception of 3rd and 4th grade ELA, which were slightly above the state. The school's performance in Science, as measured by the ISA test, was also below the state average for both 5th and 8th grade. This trend has been relatively consistent over the past two school years. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (98.42%) and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (25.4%).
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($17,462) and low student-teacher ratio (10.5 to 1), the school's academic performance remains below the state averages, indicating that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. However, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in areas where the school is performing closer to or above the state averages, such as 3rd and 4th grade ELA.
