Best Public Schools in Crescent City, IL

Summary:

Crescent City, Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Crescent City Grade School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 68 students. The school is part of the Crescent Iroquois CUSD 249 district, which is ranked 171 out of 823 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating.

Crescent City Grade School stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages. The school ranks in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating consistent academic excellence. However, the school's predominantly white student population raises questions about equity and access for students of color, which may warrant further investigation.

Despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 38.24% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Crescent City Grade School spends $17,122 per student, which is higher than the state average. This investment in resources, along with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, appears to be contributing to the school's strong academic performance. However, the school's slightly elevated chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7% suggests that the school may need to explore strategies to improve student attendance and engagement.
