Summary

North Jacksonville School is an elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Jacksonville School District 117 in Illinois, with 141 students enrolled. The school has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Illinois elementary schools, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Jacksonville School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.1% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also consistently lower than the district and state averages, with only 38.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and 35.8% in Math, compared to 46.3% and 31.4% for the district, respectively. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally performing better than male students, and low-income students performing better than their white peers.

When compared to other schools in the same district, North Jacksonville School generally performs worse than Eisenhower Elementary and South Jacksonville Elementary, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite these challenges, North Jacksonville School's performance has shown some signs of improvement over time, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that it may have the potential to make further gains with the right interventions and support.
