Summary:

The Johnston City CUSD 1 school district in Illinois operates two elementary schools: Jefferson Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face challenges common to many high-need districts, including high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Based on the available data, Lincoln Elementary School appears to be the stronger performing of the two, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a lower student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Jefferson Elementary School has a lower statewide ranking, and its test scores were not provided for comparison. However, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area of concern for the district.

The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Lincoln Elementary receiving over $3,900 more per student than Jefferson Elementary, may contribute to Lincoln's stronger academic performance. Overall, while Lincoln Elementary appears to be the higher-performing school, both institutions face challenges in improving student outcomes district-wide.
