Summary:
The Quincy School District 172 in Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from early childhood through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of performance across these schools, with Lincoln-Douglas Elementary School standing out as a top performer, while other schools face challenges in meeting state academic standards.
Lincoln-Douglas Elementary ranks higher than the district and state averages in most test score categories, particularly in English Language Arts, with 51.7% of students proficient or better in ELA. In contrast, Dr. Abby Fox Rooney Elementary has the lowest test scores across the district. The district as a whole underperforms the state averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
Funding disparities and resource allocation also emerge as areas of concern. Early Childhood has the highest spending per student at $22,001, while the other elementary schools range from $12,550 to $14,652 per student. Additionally, Early Childhood has the highest student-teacher ratio at 32.2, compared to 11.5 to 14.7 at the other schools. These discrepancies raise questions about how resources are being distributed within the district. Chronic absenteeism, at 25.4% across all schools, is another significant issue that the district should address to improve student learning and achievement.
