Best Public Schools in Tonica, IL


Summary:

The city of Tonica, Illinois has a single elementary school, Tonica Grade School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 110 students. The school is part of the Tonica CCSD 79 district, which is ranked 530 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tonica Grade School's performance on English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency tests is generally below the Illinois state averages, with some notable exceptions. The school's 8th grade ELA proficiency rate of 72.2% is significantly higher than the state average of 49.9%, and its science proficiency rate of 60.6% is also higher than the state average of 53.2%. However, the school's overall ELA proficiency rate of 37% and mathematics proficiency rate of 12.5% are both lower than the state averages.

The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance in some grade levels. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $20,553 is significantly higher than the state average, but this higher spending does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1 is relatively low, which could indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students, but the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.09% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present additional challenges for the school.
