Summary:
The Odell CCSD 435 district in Illinois contains a single elementary school, Odell Grade School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with its academic performance consistently falling below the state average across most grade levels and subject areas.
Odell Grade School's overall performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, lags behind the state averages. In ELA, the school's proficiency rates range from 26.3% to 64.7%, compared to the state average of 47.3% to 56.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 15.4% to 69.2%, compared to the state average of 32.7% to 49.6%. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,005, which exceeds the state average, Odell Grade School's academic performance remains a concern. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 82.72% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success. The small student population of 162 students may also present both advantages and challenges for the school.
