Summary:
The 60470 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Ransom Grade School, which serves students from the Allen-Otter Creek CCSD 65 district. While the school has a relatively small student population and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to state averages.
Ransom Grade School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.5%) and Math (33.8%) fall below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. However, the school performs better than the state average in 8th grade science proficiency (60% vs 45.4%). The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly higher than the state average. Despite these performance issues, the school is well-resourced, with spending per student of $21,486, which is higher than the state average.
The data suggests that Ransom Grade School may need to focus on addressing attendance and academic achievement, particularly in core subjects like English and Math, to improve student outcomes. While the school's small size and higher funding levels are positive factors, the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students (27.66%) may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Targeted interventions and a closer examination of the specific factors driving the school's challenges could be beneficial in enhancing the educational experience for students in the 60470 zip code.
