Summary

Monee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 376 students in grades K-5 in the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district in Monee, Illinois. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, it outperforms the overall district in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency.

Monee Elementary's proficiency rates in ELA and Math are below the state averages, but the school performs better than the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district as a whole. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, which is a concern shared by other nearby schools in the district. Monee Elementary's student population is diverse, with significant percentages of African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as a high proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance varies across student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally outperforming their White peers, while students with disabilities and those from low-income families tend to have lower proficiency rates.

Despite the challenges, Monee Elementary has seen positive developments, including increased per-student spending and an improved student-teacher ratio. These investments in resources provide opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements. Nearby schools like Blackhawk Primary Center and Coretta Scott King Magnet School have higher ELA and Math proficiency rates, which could serve as models for Monee Elementary to learn from and collaborate with.
