Summary:
The city of Vergennes, Illinois is home to two schools: Elverado Intermediate School, an elementary school, and Elverado Junior High School, a middle school. Both schools serve a relatively small student population and have low student-teacher ratios, which can be beneficial for personalized learning.
Of the two schools, Elverado Junior High School stands out as the stronger performer, with significantly higher English Language Arts (ELA) test scores compared to the district and state averages. However, the school struggles with Math performance, with very low proficiency rates across all grade levels. In contrast, Elverado Intermediate School has lower than average test scores in both ELA and Math.
Both schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The district may need to prioritize addressing attendance issues and providing additional resources and support to ensure the success of their students, particularly in the area of Math instruction.
