Summary:
The Big Hollow School District 38 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Big Hollow Elementary School and Big Hollow Primary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face some notable challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and below-average academic performance.
While both schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges, there are some disparities between the two. Big Hollow Primary School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 26.2% compared to Big Hollow Elementary School's 14.1%. Additionally, Big Hollow Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math, particularly in 3rd grade, where only 19.2% and 29.4% of students are proficient, respectively.
The resource allocation between the two schools also appears uneven, with Big Hollow Primary School spending $14,786 per student, while Big Hollow Elementary School spends $12,761 per student. This discrepancy raises questions about how resources are being distributed and utilized to address the specific needs of each school and its student population.
