Summary:
The city of Countryside, Illinois has only one public elementary school, Ideal Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 6th grade. Ideal Elementary is part of the La Grange School District 105 South. While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to district and state averages, it stands out for its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
Ideal Elementary School has a statewide ranking between 782 and 916 out of 2,067 to 2,082 Illinois elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates range from 13.9% to 76.9% across different grade levels, with an overall proficiency of 41.5%, slightly above the state average but below the district average. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 11.5% to 46.1%, with an overall proficiency of 27.7%, slightly below the state average and significantly below the district average.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have significant resources allocated to it, with a per-student spending of $23,609 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8. This suggests that the district is investing in Ideal Elementary School, but the inconsistent academic performance across subject areas indicates that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the students, particularly in the area of Mathematics.
