Summary:

The Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico CUSD3 district in Illinois serves students from four schools: two elementary schools (Prophetstown Elementary School and Tampico Elementary School), one middle school (PLT Middle School), and one high school (Prophetstown High School).

Among the standout schools in the district, PLT Middle School excels in English Language Arts and science, with 78.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 61.4% proficient in 8th grade science. Tampico Elementary School also stands out for its strong performance in ELA and mathematics, with 75% of 3rd graders proficient or better in both subjects. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and significant gaps in mathematics performance compared to English Language Arts.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots within the district, such as the high graduation rate of 89.0% at Prophetstown High School. The district's socioeconomic factors, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, may contribute to the academic challenges, but the strong performance of some schools suggests that there are opportunities to leverage best practices and improve outcomes across the district.
