Elementary Schools in Cusd 4

Summary:

The Cusd 4 district in Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Unity Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 662 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 1,054 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024.

Unity Elementary School's proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams have also been variable. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (53.2%) and Mathematics (56.9%) were both above the state average but below the district average. However, in the previous year (2023-2024), the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower, with only 25.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.7% in Mathematics.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (46.78% in 2023-2024). Despite these challenges, Unity Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which could be a strength in providing individualized attention to students. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $9,632, a relevant metric to consider when analyzing the school's performance and resources.
