Summary:
The Ashley CCSD 15 district in Illinois contains a single elementary school, Ashley Com Consolidated School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 898 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,185 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025.
Ashley Com Consolidated School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While its 8th-grade proficiency rates in Science (52.9%) exceed the state average of 45.4%, its proficiency in English Language Arts (45.5%) and Mathematics (33.8%) fall below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school also faces a significant challenge with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, well above the state average.
Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively small student population of 126 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 in 2023-2024, which could be beneficial for personalized attention and support. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $15,294 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, suggesting a focus on resource allocation. However, the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 60.32% in 2023-2024, indicates a student population facing economic disadvantages, which may require additional support and resources to ensure equitable educational opportunities.
