Summary

Thomasboro Grade School is an elementary school located in Thomasboro, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the Thomasboro CCSD 130 district, which is ranked 709 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thomasboro Grade School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 39.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, is consistently lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 33% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and only 26.6% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.5%. Additionally, the school's performance on ELA and Mathematics assessments varies significantly across different student groups, with male and white students performing particularly poorly.

When compared to nearby schools, such as M.L. King Junior Elementary School and schools in the Urbana School District 116 and Champaign CUSD 4, Thomasboro Grade School's performance is generally lower. The school's declining statewide ranking and the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, suggest that the school may be struggling with factors such as student engagement, access to resources, and community support.
