Summary:
The 61032 zip code area of Freeport, Illinois is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Freeport School District 145, which is ranked 753 out of 811 school districts in the state. While the district as a whole has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, one school in particular stands out as a relative bright spot - Center Elementary School.
Center Elementary has the highest statewide ranking among the 5 schools, placing 950 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools, and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also boasts the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Empire Elementary appears to be the lowest performer, with the lowest proficiency rates, highest chronic absenteeism, and lowest statewide ranking.
Across the 5 schools, there are some concerning trends, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates that exceed the state average, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios may also play a role in the performance differences observed. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and resource allocation could lead to improved educational outcomes for the students in this community.
