Summary:
The city of Creve Coeur, Illinois is home to two schools: LaSalle Elementary School and Parkview Junior High School, both of which serve students in the Creve Coeur School District 76. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both institutions struggle with low proficiency rates in core academic subjects and declining statewide rankings.
LaSalle Elementary School and Parkview Junior High School both have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.3% of students at LaSalle Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%. Parkview Junior High's performance is even more concerning, with just 15.1% of students proficient or better in ELA and 6.6% in Mathematics across all grades. Both schools have also seen their statewide rankings drop in recent years.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue for both schools, with LaSalle Elementary at 31.3% and Parkview Junior High at 35.5% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the similar socioeconomic challenges faced by the two schools, the data does not reveal any clear differences in resources or staffing that could explain the performance gap between the schools and the state averages.
