Elementary Schools in Morrison CUSD 6

Summary:

The Morrison CUSD 6 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Northside School and Southside School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade.

Based on the available data, Southside School appears to be the standout performer in the district. It consistently ranks in the top 40% of Illinois elementary schools and has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Northside School does not have any standout performance metrics.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of over 25%. Additionally, Northside School has a higher free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting it may serve a more economically disadvantaged student population. While Northside School spends more per student, this does not seem to translate to better academic outcomes compared to Southside School.
