Summary:
The city of Oglesby, Illinois is home to two elementary schools - Lincoln Elementary School and Washington Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the Oglesby Education Service District 125, which is ranked 577 out of 813 districts in Illinois, their academic performance and other key metrics vary significantly.
Washington Elementary School, a middle school, outperforms Lincoln Elementary School, an elementary school, on English Language Arts test scores across all grade levels. However, both schools struggle with low math proficiency rates, well below the state average. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting overall academic performance.
The data also reveals a significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Washington Elementary School spending $28,104 per student compared to Lincoln Elementary School's $15,422 per student. However, this difference in funding does not directly translate to better academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement in the Oglesby Education Service District 125.
