Summary

West Prairie North Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 154 students in grades PK-6 in Good Hope, Illinois, which is part of the West Prairie CUSD 103 district.

While the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance consistently lags behind state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.4% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% statewide and 55.3% in the district. In math, the school's proficiency rate was just 21.9%, compared to 38.5% statewide and 34.9% in the district. Additionally, West Prairie North Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as West Prairie South Elementary and V.I.T. Elementary, West Prairie North Elementary consistently underperforms on academic measures. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, West Prairie South Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA (69.3%) and math (38.6%), while V.I.T. Elementary also outperformed West Prairie North in both subjects. The school's declining performance and ranking over the past several years suggest that it may be facing significant challenges in areas such as student engagement, access to resources, and effective instructional practices.
