Summary:
The city of Carlock, Illinois is home to a single public elementary school, Carlock Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the McLean County Unified School District 5, which is ranked 420 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Carlock Elementary School stands out in a few key areas. The school had higher proficiency rates in IAR/English Language Arts for 4th and 5th grades compared to the district and state averages, as well as a significantly higher proficiency rate in ISA/Science for all grades (80%) compared to the district (58.3%) and state (53.2%) averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7% is higher than the state average and is an area for improvement.
The school's academic performance has been variable, with its SchoolDigger ranking fluctuating between 740 and 974 out of over 2,000 Illinois elementary schools over the past three years. While the school outperforms the district and state in some areas, it underperforms in others, such as 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency. Addressing these uneven performance levels across grade levels and continuing to build on the school's strengths in science proficiency could be key focus areas for the school and district to support student success.
