Both schools have consistently underperformed compared to state averages across key metrics, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to students in this district.
Fieldcrest Primary School has ranked in the bottom 40-60% of Illinois elementary schools in recent years, while Fieldcrest Intermediate School has an even lower statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 30-60% of schools. Both schools have a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, signifying below-average performance. Chronic absenteeism rates at both schools are high, exceeding 25%, and the schools serve a student population with significant socioeconomic needs, as evidenced by free/reduced lunch rates over 55%.
Academically, the Fieldcrest elementary schools struggle to meet state averages. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science at Fieldcrest Intermediate School fall below both the district and state averages. Despite higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, the schools have not been able to translate these resources into strong academic outcomes, suggesting deeper issues with curriculum, instruction, or other factors impacting student learning. Addressing the root causes of these performance challenges will be critical to improving educational opportunities for students in the Fieldcrest CUSD 6 district.
