Patoka Elementary School

Summary:

Patoka Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 114 students in grades PK-5 in the small town of Patoka, Illinois, which is part of the Centralia School District 135. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several key challenges, including declining academic performance, a racially homogeneous student population, and fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates.

Academically, Patoka Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state averages, with only 18.8% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 28.8%. This trend of declining academic performance is in contrast to the surrounding schools, such as Jordan Elementary School and Schiller Elementary School, which have more diverse student populations and generally higher proficiency rates. Additionally, Patoka Elementary School has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, ranging from 1.8% in 2019-2020 to 9.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Patoka Elementary School, at $15,297 in 2022-2023, the academic performance of the school remains below the state averages, suggesting that factors other than funding may be contributing to the school's challenges. The school's racial makeup, with 98.25% of students being white in 2022-2023, is also in contrast to the more diverse student populations at the surrounding schools, which may be an area of concern for the school and the community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
