Summary:
Eldorado CUSD 4 is a small school district in Illinois that serves one elementary school, Eldorado Elementary School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between a high of 764 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 and a low of 1,796 out of 2,082 in 2021-2022.
Academically, Eldorado Elementary School has shown strengths in mathematics, with proficiency rates higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) and science proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average, indicating a need to focus on improving performance in these subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.1%, which is notably higher than the state average and may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite these performance issues, Eldorado Elementary School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 70.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school also spends more per student than the state average, suggesting the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and spending priorities to better support the needs of its students.
