Best Public Schools in Ashmore, IL

Summary:

The city of Ashmore, Illinois has only one public elementary school, Ashmore Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with an enrollment of 82 students. The school is part of the Charleston CUSD 1 district, which is ranked 616 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Ashmore Elementary School does not appear to be a standout school, with a low statewide ranking of 1811 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the district and state averages, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.88% for the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1 and high per-student spending of $16,215, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that Ashmore Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student engagement, academic performance, and socioeconomic factors, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement.
