Summary:
The 62889 zip code area has only one elementary school, Field Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 245 students. The school is part of the Field CCSD 3 school district, which is ranked 554 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Field Elementary School's academic performance is generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 46.7%, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 30.9%, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's Science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grades were also below the state averages. However, the school has shown some improvement in its performance from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year.
Another area of concern for Field Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 33.47% in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $10,749 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning.
