Summary:
The city of Texico, Illinois has only one school, Field Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Field CCSD 3 school district, which is ranked 634 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Field Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) test scores, is generally below the state average across all grade levels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is slightly better, with 54.7% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5% and a significant population of students (32.77%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $10,935, the academic performance of Field Elementary School remains below the state average. This suggests that the school may need to evaluate how resources are being allocated and explore ways to more effectively utilize available funding to improve student outcomes. Addressing the factors contributing to low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of the socioeconomically disadvantaged student population will likely be crucial for the school's improvement.
