Summary:
The 62650 zip code area is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the Jacksonville School District 117, which is ranked 514 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data reveals a range of academic performance among these schools, with Eisenhower Elementary School standing out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
While South Jacksonville Elementary School and Washington Elementary School also perform better than the district average in English Language Arts, they struggle in Math proficiency. On the other hand, Lincoln Elementary and North Jacksonville School have the lowest proficiency rates, with less than 40% of students performing at or above grade level in both subjects.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, with all 6 schools exceeding the state average. Additionally, the schools display a wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, from 42.9% at Eisenhower Elementary to 83.83% at Lincoln Elementary, which may contribute to the disparities in academic performance. While spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, these factors do not appear to be the primary drivers of student success in the district.
