Best Public Schools in Kincaid, IL


Summary:

The city of Kincaid, Illinois is home to two public schools - South Fork Junior Senior High School and South Fork Elementary School, both part of the South Fork School District 14. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as both schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a variety of academic and operational metrics.

South Fork Junior Senior High School is ranked 680 out of 697 Illinois high schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, while South Fork Elementary School is ranked 1,775 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools with a 1-star rating. Both schools have seen their statewide rankings decline over the past three school years, indicating systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Academically, the schools struggle, with very low proficiency rates in SAT Math, SAT ELA, and the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams compared to state averages.

Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the schools' challenges, as both have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. This suggests the Kincaid community faces significant economic disadvantages that likely impact the schools' performance. To address these issues, targeted interventions and support will be crucial, focusing on improving instruction, providing additional resources for students, and addressing any underlying district-level factors that may be hindering the schools' ability to improve.
