Summary:

The Lincoln Education Service District 27 in Illinois consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Central Elementary School consistently outperforming the other schools and the district/state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Lincoln Junior High School performs well in English Language Arts but struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly below the district and state averages. The school has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years. Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are consistently high, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, which may be impacting overall academic performance.

The data suggests a potential correlation between higher spending per student and better academic performance, as seen with Central Elementary School, which has the highest spending per student at $22,378 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11:1. However, further analysis would be needed to determine the exact relationship and the factors that contribute to the effective use of resources within the district.
