Summary:
The Aptakisic-Tripp CCSD 102 school district in Illinois is home to three elementary schools: Meridian School, Tripp School, and Earl Pritchett School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the Aptakisic-Tripp community.
Among the three schools, Meridian School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools in Illinois. Meridian School's students excel in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 75.7% of Meridian School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 75.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, Meridian School had a 72.1% proficiency rate, while the district was at 68.4% and the state at 38.5%.
While the Aptakisic-Tripp CCSD 102 district as a whole outperforms the state averages in both ELA and Mathematics, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year is higher than the state average. This suggests potential equity issues that may need to be addressed. Additionally, the variation in student-teacher ratios among the schools, ranging from 11.8 at Earl Pritchett School to 13.8 at Meridian School, may contribute to the differences in academic performance and could be an area for further investigation.
