Summary:
The Marseilles Education Service District 150 in Illinois consists of a single school, Marseilles Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Marseilles Elementary School's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams has been consistently low, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.7% to 44.6% in ELA and 10.2% to 35.2% in Math, compared to state averages of 47.3% to 56.7% in ELA and 32.7% to 49.6% in Math. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) was also below the state average, with 5th-grade students scoring 34% proficient or better and 8th-grade students scoring 38.3% proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 40.6% and 45.4%, respectively. The school has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has ranked between 1419 and 1675 out of 2056-2077 Illinois elementary schools over the past three school years.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,770 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which suggests a focus on smaller class sizes. However, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (62.21%) indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that targets both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
