Summary:
Benjamin School District 25 in Illinois has one elementary school, Evergreen Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 382 students. Evergreen Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Illinois, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Evergreen Elementary's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for all grades are above the state averages. In 2023-2024, 39.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and 46% of Evergreen students were proficient in Math, versus 28.4% statewide. The school's 3rd grade proficiency rates are particularly strong, exceeding both the Benjamin School District 25 and state averages in both ELA (47.5% vs. 30.6% statewide) and Math (50.8% vs. 33.8% statewide).
However, Evergreen Elementary's performance has shown some fluctuation in recent years, and the school's 4th grade proficiency rates in both ELA and Math lag behind the 3rd grade rates, indicating a potential need to focus on improving outcomes for older elementary students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3% in 2023-2024 is a concern and could be impacting overall academic achievement. Overall, Evergreen Elementary appears to be a solid-performing school, but continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure consistent and equitable student success.
