Summary:
The La Harpe Central School District 347 in Illinois has only one elementary school, La Harpe Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 834 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,104 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024.
La Harpe Elementary School faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts slightly below the state average and Math proficiency rates significantly lower than the state average in 2024-2025. However, the school's Science proficiency rates were above the state average for both 5th and 8th grades in the same year. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 98.42% in 2023-2024, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, La Harpe Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, and its per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $17,462. While the school's overall performance may be inconsistent, its strengths in Science and its resource allocation suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements in the future.
