Elementary Schools in Spring Garden CCSD 178

Summary:

Spring Garden CCSD 178 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single elementary school, Spring Garden Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in the Spring Garden area.

Spring Garden Elementary School has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 1189 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars) and 1454 out of 2067 in 2023-2024 (1 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics have consistently been below the state averages, with 50% proficient or better in ELA and 31.3% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,285 and lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's performance challenges. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.25% in the 2023-2024 school year, which could impact academic outcomes.
