Summary:
The Cahokia CUSD 187 school district in Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This district faces significant challenges, as it is ranked 812 out of 813 school districts in the state and has an overall rating of 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Among the elementary schools, Estelle Sauget School of Choice stands out as the highest-performing, with the best statewide ranking (1830 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools) and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Elizabeth Morris Elementary School also has a relatively higher statewide ranking and proficiency rates compared to the other schools in the Cahokia CUSD 187 district.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools having very high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 30.9% to 62.1%) and consistently low proficiency rates in core academic subjects compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools have extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While per-student spending is higher than the state average, the data suggests the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique challenges faced by the Cahokia CUSD 187 district.
