Summary:
The River Bend CUSD 2 school district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Fulton Elementary School and Early Step Pre-School. Fulton Elementary School is the more prominent and well-performing school in the district, with a higher enrollment of 405 students compared to the 39 students at Early Step Pre-School.
Fulton Elementary School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked between 909 and 1,067 out of over 2,000 Illinois elementary schools in the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions in 5th-grade ELA and Science. However, the school's ELA proficiency rates have improved from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, while Mathematics proficiency rates have remained relatively stable.
Fulton Elementary School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may impact student learning and achievement. The school spends $11,132 per student, which is higher than the state average, while Early Step Pre-School has a significantly higher per-student spending of $17,184. This suggests that the district may be allocating resources disproportionately, potentially impacting the quality of education at the elementary school level. Overall, the data analysis presents an opportunity for the district to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps at Fulton Elementary School.
