Summary:
The Ccsd 62 district in Illinois is home to 9 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools in this district show a wide range of academic performance, with some standout top-performing institutions and others struggling to meet proficiency standards.
The highest-achieving schools in the district are Cumberland Elementary, Iroquois Community School, and Terrace Elementary. These schools consistently rank among the top elementary institutions in Illinois, with strong proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, schools like North Elementary, Orchard Place Elementary, and Plainfield Elementary struggle to reach 50% proficiency in either subject.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with all schools reporting rates over 25%. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic performance, as schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families tend to have lower proficiency rates. While factors like spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not seem to be strongly linked to outcomes, the data suggests there are opportunities to learn from the successful schools and implement best practices more broadly to raise the performance of all Ccsd 62 elementary schools.
