Summary:
The La Moille CUSD 303 district in Illinois serves students from two schools: Allen School School, an elementary school, and La Moille Junior/Senior High School. While the high school has a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with both schools struggling to meet state averages on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism.
The elementary school, Allen School School, has particularly low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (21.8%) and math (20%), well below state averages. The high school, La Moille Junior/Senior High School, performs better but still lags the state, with 40% proficiency in ELA and 25% in math. Both schools also struggle with science proficiency, with Allen at 23.1% and La Moille at 30% for 8th grade.
Despite the higher spending per student at La Moille Junior/Senior High School, the two schools in the La Moille CUSD 303 district have very similar performance, with the district as a whole ranked 744 out of 811 in Illinois, indicating it is one of the lower-performing districts in the state. Addressing issues like chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and poor graduation rates should be top priorities for the district leadership.
