Summary:
The 61052 zip code in Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Monroe Center Grade School, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Meridian CUSD 223 district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally underperforms compared to state and district averages, particularly in 5th-grade proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science.
Monroe Center Grade School's academic challenges are compounded by a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 30.74% free and reduced-price lunch rate. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are within typical ranges, but it's unclear if these factors are directly impacting the school's academic outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that Monroe Center Grade School faces significant challenges in improving student achievement, particularly in the upper elementary grades. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems could provide more insights into how to address these areas of concern and better support the students and community it serves.
