Summary:
Allendale CCSD 17 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one elementary school, Allendale Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges based on the available data.
Allendale Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 36.4% in 6th grade to 68.4% in 7th grade, and in mathematics ranging from 9.1% in 6th grade to 47.4% in 7th grade. These scores are generally below the state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.2%, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic achievement.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $10,372, which is above the state average, its academic performance remains below state averages in many areas, particularly in mathematics. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. The school could benefit from a more comprehensive and targeted approach to improving student outcomes, potentially involving a review of instructional practices, additional support for struggling students, and a closer examination of how resources are being used to drive student success.
