Summary

Galatia Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 164 students in grades K-5 in Galatia, Illinois, which is part of the Galatia CUSD 1 district. The school consistently underperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 44.3% of students proficient in ELA and 21.5% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. Additionally, Galatia Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 34.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Galatia Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, with the school's White students and low-socioeconomic status students ranking in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools in their respective categories. The school's spending per student, ranging from $9,751 to $11,434, is also lower than the spending levels of many nearby schools, such as Akin Community Cons Elementary School, Crab Orchard Elementary School, and East Side Intermediate School, which tend to have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Galatia Elementary School's ranking among Illinois elementary schools has steadily declined over the past several years, from 992 out of 2,077 schools in 2022-2023 to 1,250 out of 2,056 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. Addressing the challenges faced by Galatia Elementary, such as high chronic absenteeism and low performance for certain student subgroups, will likely require a multi-faceted approach targeting attendance, resource allocation, and targeted interventions for struggling students.
