Summary:
The city of Rossville, Illinois has two schools serving students from preschool through 12th grade: Rossville-Alvin Elementary School and Coop High School 7. While the elementary school is struggling academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages, the high school lacks sufficient data to assess its performance.
Rossville-Alvin Elementary School serves 258 students in grades PK-8 and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 829th out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,372nd out of 2,067 in 2023-2024. This corresponds with a decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0% in 2023-2024.
In contrast, Coop High School 7 serves 105 students in grades 9-12, but the data provided does not include any information about the school's academic performance, statewide ranking, or other key metrics. This lack of data makes it difficult to assess the overall quality of secondary education in Rossville and how the high school is serving the community. The Rossville-Alvin CUSD 7 district should prioritize improving educational outcomes for all students in the city by addressing the challenges faced by Rossville-Alvin Elementary School and providing more transparent reporting of data for Coop High School 7.
