Summary:
Zip code 62510 is home to a single elementary school, Bond Primary, which serves grades PK-1 and has a total enrollment of 160 students. Bond Primary is part of the Central A & M CUD 21 district, which is ranked 530 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bond Primary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 770 out of 2,139 Illinois elementary schools in 2009-2010 (3-star rating) to 445 out of 2,120 in 2008-2009 (4-star rating). However, the school's current 2-star rating suggests it may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, Bond Primary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be a contributing factor to the school's declining performance.
Despite these challenges, Bond Primary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, indicating smaller class sizes that can be beneficial for student learning and engagement. However, the school also serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 45.62% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this population.
