Summary:
River Grove School District 85-5 in Illinois has one school, River Grove Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 730 students. The school is a relatively strong-performing institution within its district and the state, ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools in recent years.
River Grove Elementary School excels in several areas, including its performance on state assessments, where 60% of students are proficient or better in English Language Arts and 35.6% are proficient or better in Mathematics, exceeding the state averages. The school also stands out in specific grade levels, such as 6th grade ELA (80.6% proficient) and 8th grade Science (55.7% proficient). However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, and there are some subject areas, like 3rd grade Mathematics and 5th grade Science, where the school lags behind the state.
Despite these challenges, River Grove School District 85-5 appears to be investing resources into River Grove Elementary School, as evidenced by the school's above-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio. This investment may be contributing to the school's overall strong performance and consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years.
