Summary:
The Salt Fork CUSD 512 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Salt Fork North Elementary School and Salt Fork South Elementary School. While both schools have a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are below average compared to other Illinois elementary schools, there are notable differences in their academic performance and resource allocation.
Salt Fork North Elementary School generally outperforms Salt Fork South Elementary School on standardized test scores, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. However, Salt Fork South Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the differences in academic performance, Salt Fork South Elementary School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Salt Fork North Elementary School. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as student demographics and community support, may be contributing to the disparities in academic outcomes between the two schools.
