Summary:

Among the elementary schools, Northview Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the other elementary schools, such as Broadmeadow Elementary School, have lower student-teacher ratios but still struggle with overall academic performance.

The school's test scores are particularly concerning, with only 4.6% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Math, compared to the state average of 26.1%. The high levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 84.06% to 98.1% across the district, likely contribute to the overall academic challenges faced by the schools in Rantoul.
