Summary:
The Patoka CUSD 100 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Patoka Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 112 students.
Patoka Elementary School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 988 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3 out of 5 stars) to 1,266 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024 (2 out of 5 stars). In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math were higher than the district average but lower than the state average, with 60% proficient or better in ELA (vs. 48.5% district, 53.1% state) and 30% in Math (vs. 24.7% district, 38.5% state). However, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were lower than both the district and state averages in both ELA and Math.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $15,573 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1, Patoka Elementary School's academic performance is still lagging behind the state averages, particularly in mathematics. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 53.57% in 2023-2024, indicates that it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact student learning and achievement. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help students improve their academic skills and proficiency levels.
