Summary:
Tampico, Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Tampico Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance is mixed, with strengths in science proficiency but challenges in English language arts (ELA) and math compared to district and state averages.
Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico CUSD3, the district that encompasses Tampico Elementary, has an overall proficiency rate that exceeds the state average in ELA and science, but lags behind in math. Tampico Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and math are higher than the district and state, suggesting potential strengths in the early grades, but the school's performance declines in the upper elementary grades.
Tampico Elementary School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a low-income student population. The school spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, which may contribute to its strong science proficiency but not translate to the same level of success in ELA and math. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state's target, could be a focus area for the school to improve overall student outcomes.
