Summary:
Field CCSD 3 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Field. The district has only one school, Field Elementary School, which provides education for students in grades PK-8. With a total enrollment of 235 students, Field Elementary has consistently underperformed on standardized tests compared to the state average, with only 29.5% of students proficient or better in ELA and 14.7% in math.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 and high per-student spending of $10,935, the academic outcomes at Field Elementary do not appear to be commensurate with this level of resource investment. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and statewide ranking of 1389 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools suggest that the district may be facing systemic challenges in effectively educating its students.
The high rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 32.77%, indicates that the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the observed academic underperformance. However, further investigation is needed to understand the root causes of the school's consistent underperformance and identify targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
