Summary:
The Crete Monee CUSD 201U district in Illinois serves 6 elementary schools, providing education to students from early childhood through 5th grade. This district faces significant challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism across its schools.
Among the elementary schools, Monee Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (55.1%) and Mathematics (34.3%) compared to the district and state averages. Coretta Scott King Magnet School is another bright spot, with the second-highest proficiency rates in the district. In contrast, schools like Talala Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates as low as 16.3% in ELA.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, including extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (98.7% to 100%) and chronic absenteeism (25.4%). While student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the district's high spending per student (up to $32,443 at the early childhood center) suggests that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to address these persistent performance gaps and support the success of all students in the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district.
