Summary:
The Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUD 4 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Pine Crest Elementary School. This school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's science proficiency rates are slightly better than the district and state.
Pine Crest Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (73.98%) and a high chronic absenteeism rate (24.9%). These factors are often associated with lower academic achievement. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, it has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Addressing the root causes of Pine Crest Elementary School's underperformance, such as teaching quality, curriculum, or support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, will be crucial in driving academic improvement. Strategies to improve attendance and address the needs of the high-poverty student population could also be important in enhancing the educational outcomes for the school's students.
