Summary:
The city of Pittsburg, Illinois has only one school in the data set - Lincoln Elementary School, which is part of the Johnston City CUSD 1 school district. While Lincoln Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past three years, it outperforms its district in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, though it still lags behind the state averages.
Lincoln Elementary School serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 70.5% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is a positive indicator of student engagement and attendance. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending of $14,544 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1, suggesting that it is investing resources in its educational program.
Overall, while Lincoln Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its academic performance relative to the district and its low chronic absenteeism, it faces challenges in closing the gap with state-level performance and serving a population with significant economic needs. The school's fluctuating performance over the past three years also indicates that its success may be subject to changes in the broader educational landscape.
