Summary:
Potomac CUSD 10 is a small school district in Illinois that consists of a single school, Potomac Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in a rural area. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has faced some challenges, including uneven academic achievement across grade levels and subject areas, as well as a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Potomac Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 904 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3 out of 5 stars) to 1,385 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars), indicating inconsistent performance. The school's standardized test scores also vary, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average while others fall significantly below. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.26% in 2023-2024), suggesting a disadvantaged student population.
Despite these challenges, Potomac Elementary School appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively high per-student spending of $16,366 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6. However, it is unclear how these resources are being utilized to drive student achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Potomac CUSD 10 and its sole school, Potomac Elementary School, face a mix of strengths and areas for improvement in providing a quality education to its students.
