Elementary Schools in Momence CUSD 1

Summary:

The Momence CUSD 1 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Je-Neir Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with an enrollment of 338 students.

Je-Neir Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools over the past three school years, with below-average performance on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 73.67%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for students.

The data suggests that Je-Neir Elementary School is a low-performing school within the Momence CUSD 1 district and the state of Illinois. The school's challenges may be related to the socioeconomic status of its student population, as well as potential areas for improvement in instructional practices and student support services.
