Summary:
The city of Ladd, Illinois has just one public school serving grades PK-8, the Ladd Community Cons School. This elementary school is part of the Ladd CCSD 94 district, which is ranked 416 out of 813 districts in the state. While the school performs above the state average in certain subject areas like science, it struggles in mathematics, particularly in the upper grades. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 57.92%, indicating significant economic challenges for the student population.
Ladd Community Cons School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are above the state average in grades 4-6 and 8, but below average in other grades. In mathematics, the school only exceeds the state average in 4th grade. However, the school's science proficiency rate is notably higher than the state average at 70.6% compared to 53.2%. The school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.3%, which may be contributing to its uneven academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be investing resources to support its students, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and spending $14,249 per student, both of which are better than the state averages. Addressing attendance issues and implementing targeted interventions, particularly in mathematics, could be areas of focus for the school and district to improve overall academic achievement.
