Summary:
Robein School District 85 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Robein Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has some positive attributes, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the state, it also faces challenges, particularly in mathematics performance.
Robein Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 872 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,055 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025. The school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (60.7%) are higher than the state average (53.1%), but its mathematics proficiency rates (21.3%) are significantly lower than the state average (38.5%). Science proficiency rates are mixed, with 5th-grade students performing below the state average (24% vs. 40.6%), but 8th-grade students performing above the state average (53.8% vs. 45.4%).
Despite the higher per-student spending ($15,183) and smaller class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 10.8) at Robein School District 85, the school's academic performance is not commensurate with the resources available, suggesting that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (51.3%) indicates that the school may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors, which can impact student learning and achievement.
