Best Public Schools in Oreana, IL

Summary:

The city of Oreana, Illinois has only one public school serving students in grades PreK-5: Argenta-Oreana Elementary School. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high 5th grade science proficiency rate, it also faces several challenges that have contributed to a declining statewide ranking over the past three years.

Argenta-Oreana Elementary School's overall English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are below the state averages, with only 32.3% and 29.2% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is concerning. Additionally, the school's district, Argenta-Oreana CUSD 1, is ranked 526th out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,520, the academic performance and statewide ranking suggest that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other Illinois elementary schools. The school's challenges may be related to the high percentage of students (nearly 50%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential equity concerns that could impact academic achievement.
