Summary:
Ashley CCSD 15 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Ashley, with only one school - Ashley Com Consolidated School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 126 students.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and higher per-student spending of $15,294 compared to the state average, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 898 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,185 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (45.5%) and Mathematics (33.8%) are below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively, though its 8th-grade proficiency rates in ELA (52.9%) and Science (52.9%) are higher than the state averages.
The school faces some significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and a high percentage of students (60.32%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population facing socioeconomic challenges. The district may need to explore strategies to address these issues and improve the overall performance of the school.
