Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in state assessments, is consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 9.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 28.8%. Additionally, Trico Elementary School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.8% in 2019-2020 to 30.2% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Pinckneyville Elementary School, Trico Elementary School generally performs worse academically. Trico's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs. Despite the school's relatively low academic performance, Trico Elementary School's per-student spending has increased significantly over the years, from $8,353 in 2019-2020 to $14,130 in 2022-2023, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism could be an important focus for the school and district.
