Summary:
The Edinburg CUSD 4 school district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Edinburg Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are favorable, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years.
Edinburg Elementary School's proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, ranging from 0% to 25% proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 30.6% to 39.1% for ELA and 26.8% to 33.8% for Mathematics. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 70% in 2022-2023 was notably higher than the state average of 52.4%, suggesting potential strengths in certain subject areas.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. While the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio indicate a potentially favorable learning environment, the data suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the specific needs of its student population, which includes a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
