Summary:
The Elverado CUSD 196 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Elverado Primary School and Elverado Intermediate School. Both schools serve a student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the schools exhibit notable differences in enrollment, academic performance, and resource allocation.
Elverado Primary School has a relatively high enrollment of 107 students, while Elverado Intermediate School has a smaller enrollment of 73 students. Both schools have a low district ranking of 582 out of 811 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement. Notably, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, which is a concerning issue that the district should address.
In terms of academic performance, Elverado Intermediate School generally underperforms compared to district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 51.9% is higher than the district and state averages. The district should closely examine the factors contributing to these performance disparities and develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.
