Summary:
The 61369 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Fieldcrest Intermediate School, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Fieldcrest CUSD 6 school district. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and academic performance that lags behind district and state averages.
Fieldcrest Intermediate School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were below the district and state averages across all grade levels in the 2024-2025 school year, though they did show some improvement from the previous year. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 34.3% was also lower than the state average of 40.6%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite spending more per student than the state average and having a lower student-teacher ratio, Fieldcrest Intermediate School's academic performance remains a concern. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% may be contributing to these challenges, and addressing attendance and other socioeconomic factors will likely be crucial in improving the school's overall outcomes.
