Summary:
Potomac CUSD 10 district in Illinois contains a single elementary school, Potomac Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels exceeding state averages while others struggle to meet benchmarks.
Potomac Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, ranging from 904 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,385 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for all grades were below the state averages in 2024-2025, but its 3rd grade ELA and 6th grade ELA proficiency rates were significantly higher than the state. However, the school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grade were lower than the state averages.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, Potomac CUSD 10 appears to be allocating significant resources to the school, with a per-student spending of $16,366 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (54.26% in 2023-2024) indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a factor in the school's academic challenges.
