Summary

Broadmeadow Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rantoul, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 243 students. The school is part of the Rantoul City School District 137, which is ranked 803 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broadmeadow Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9.3% of Broadmeadow students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 26% for the district and 53.1% for the state. Similarly, only 5.6% of Broadmeadow students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 8.5% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24% to 28.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Rantoul City School District, such as Eastlawn Elementary and Pleasant Acres Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. This suggests that the challenges faced by Broadmeadow Elementary are not unique but rather systemic issues within the district. Addressing these complex factors will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the students and families in the Rantoul community.
