Summary

Marseilles Elementary School is a public school serving 516 students in grades PK-8 in Marseilles, Illinois, which is part of the Marseilles Education Service District 150. The school consistently underperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 28.1% of students proficient in ELA and 25.8% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.

Marseilles Elementary School also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.7% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance gaps are particularly concerning for its White, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations, which rank in the bottom 10-20% and 30-40% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively. Despite spending between $13,803 and $18,770 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school has not seen commensurate improvements in student outcomes.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Ransom Grade School, Wallace Elementary School, and Seneca Grade School North Campus generally outperform Marseilles Elementary School on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism, despite serving similar demographics. This suggests that Marseilles Elementary School may need to undertake a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to drive meaningful improvements for its students.
