Summary:
The Rossville-Alvin Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Rossville-Alvin CUSD 7 district. With an enrollment of 283 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools in recent years.
Rossville-Alvin Elementary School's proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades were 48.4% and 25% respectively in 2024-2025, well below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%. The school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grade were also significantly lower than the state. Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $14,044 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, suggesting that resource allocation may not be the primary issue.
The school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 51.24% in 2023-2024, which is often associated with lower academic achievement. This demographic factor, combined with the school's consistent underperformance on standardized tests, indicates a need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes at Rossville-Alvin Elementary School.
