Summary:
The city of Ashley, Illinois has just one school, Ashley Com Consolidated School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Ashley CCSD 15 district, which is ranked 549 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Ashley Com Consolidated School excels in science proficiency, with a rate of 77.8% compared to the state average of 53.2%, the school struggles in other academic areas. Its overall English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency of 25.7% and math proficiency of 23% are both significantly lower than the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance varies greatly across grade levels, with 5th graders performing well above the state average in both ELA and math, but 3rd and 7th graders falling well below the state averages.
The school faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 56% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,309 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistent, high-quality outcomes for all students. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.1% in the 2023-2024 school year is also an area of concern that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
