Summary

Ricms is an elementary school in Rock Island, Illinois, serving 438 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Rock Island School District 41, which is ranked 740 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ricms consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.3% of Ricms students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 32.5% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was 28.2% for Ricms, 21.8% for the district, and 38.5% for the state. Ricms also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 34.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Ricms struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the proficiency rates for African American students (33%), Hispanic students (19%), and students with disabilities (22%) were significantly lower than the state averages. Despite spending more per student ($12,975 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, Ricms has not been able to improve its academic performance over the years. In contrast, nearby schools like Hamilton Elementary School in the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, suggesting that Ricms may benefit from examining their practices and strategies.
