Summary:
The Herrin CUSD 4 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Herrin C U S D 4 Elementary School and North Side Primary Center. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the larger Herrin CUSD 4 district.
Among the two schools, Herrin C U S D 4 Elementary School stands out for its consistently high academic performance. The school has test scores that exceed both the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with 61.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 55.2% in math. Additionally, the school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools in recent years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which can benefit student learning, they also face challenges. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, which may impact student achievement. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 67.39% to 70.46%. The district should continue to monitor and address these issues to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
