Best Public Schools in Ransom, IL

Summary:

The city of Ransom, Illinois has only one school, Ransom Grade School, which serves students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Allen-Otter Creek CCSD 65 district, which is ranked 654 out of 823 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ransom Grade School has a predominantly white student population, with 84.38% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently below or matching the state averages across multiple grade levels. This suggests a need for improvement in the school's educational outcomes. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, and 34.38% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it spends a relatively high amount of $20,900 per student, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 6.8, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, these factors alone do not appear to be driving improved academic outcomes, and further investigation into the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support for economically disadvantaged students may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement.
