Summary:
The city of Evansville, Illinois has only one school, Evansville Attendance Center, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 116 students. The school is part of the Sparta CUSD 140 district, which is ranked 645 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Evansville Attendance Center's academic performance is generally below the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 18.2% to 62.6% in ELA and 6.7% to 18.8% in Mathematics across different grade levels. However, the school performs better on the Illinois Science Assessment, with 68.8% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.4%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as it has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 25.86% and a higher per-student spending of $17,420. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 could be a potential strength, providing opportunities for more personalized instruction and support. Overall, the analysis suggests that Evansville Attendance Center may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and address the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and academic performance concerns.
