Colona School District 190

Colona School District 190 in Illinois consists of a single elementary school, Colona Grade School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 385 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally falls below state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's 3rd-grade students have shown relatively strong performance in ELA, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

Colona Grade School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community. The school's academic performance has shown a concerning trend of declining proficiency rates across multiple grade levels, which suggests the need for targeted interventions to address this issue. Additionally, the lack of data on chronic absenteeism rates makes it difficult to fully understand the factors contributing to the school's performance.

Despite these challenges, the data also reveals some potential bright spots, such as the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and its 5th-grade students' performance in Science, which is slightly better than the state average. By closely examining the factors contributing to the school's strengths and weaknesses, the Colona School District 190 can develop and implement strategies to improve student learning outcomes and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
