Summary:
Galatia CUSD 1 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Galatia, and it contains only one elementary school, Galatia Elementary School. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 992 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,248 out of 2,082 in 2021-2022. While the school's performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics is generally below the state average, its performance on the Illinois Science Assessment is slightly above the state average.
Galatia Elementary School serves a community with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students (55.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school appears to be allocating its resources effectively, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, which is lower than the state average. This may contribute to the school's strengths in science education, where it outperforms the state average.
Overall, Galatia CUSD 1 and its sole elementary school face both challenges and opportunities. While the school's performance in core academic areas is below the state average, its strengths in science and efficient resource allocation suggest that the school is working to provide a quality education to its students. Further analysis and targeted support could help the school and district address the needs of their community and improve overall student outcomes.
