Summary:
Fairmont School District 89 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Fairmont School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 655 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in academic performance and other key metrics.
Fairmont School's academic performance is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics around 10-20 percentage points lower than the state. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state average. Additionally, Fairmont School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. These factors suggest systemic challenges that may require a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems.
Fairmont School also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.4, suggests that the district may be allocating resources to address these challenges, but the overall academic performance indicates that more targeted interventions and support services may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
