Summary:
The Cahokia CUSD 187 district in Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This area faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism well above the state average.
While the majority of schools in the district struggle to meet state performance standards, one school stands out - Estelle Sauget School of Choice. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages, with 25.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 11.9% in Math, compared to district averages of 13.3% and 5.6%, respectively. Estelle Sauget's 3rd grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math are also significantly higher than the rest of the district.
Another school of note is Huffman Elementary, which has the highest student-teacher ratio in the district at 15.7, potentially allowing for more individualized attention. While Huffman's overall performance lags behind, its 5th grade ELA proficiency rate of 16.5% is the highest among the schools. The district as a whole spends between $19,785 and $21,778 per student, higher than the state average, but this has not translated to improved academic outcomes across the board. Identifying the factors contributing to Estelle Sauget's success and addressing the systemic challenges within the Cahokia CUSD 187 district will be crucial to improving educational opportunities for all students.
