Summary:
The Richland GSD 88A district in Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Richland Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it continues to perform well in certain academic areas, particularly in 8th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and 5th-grade Science.
Richland Elementary School's overall proficiency rates in ELA (58.4%) are higher than the state average of 53.1%, but its math proficiency (34.6%) lags behind the state's 38.5%. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 56.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.2 is slightly lower than the state average, indicating a relatively favorable staffing situation.
In terms of resources, Richland Elementary School spends $16,139 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's declining statewide ranking suggests that the additional funding may not be translating into consistent academic improvements across all subject areas. Moving forward, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support programs to address the uneven performance and help all students reach their full potential.
