Summary:
Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 is a small school district in Illinois that serves one elementary school, Mulberry Grove Elementary School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has an enrollment of 165 students and serves the Mulberry Grove community.
Mulberry Grove Elementary School is ranked 1034 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA, Math, and Science, is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 25% to 41.7%, compared to the district average of 34.3% and the state average of 41.2%. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 20.8% to 27.8%, compared to the district average of 21.2% and the state average of 28.4%.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 54.55% indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may require the school to provide additional support and resources. The school's per-student spending of $12,427 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional funding is being used effectively to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Mulberry Grove Elementary School has room for improvement in terms of academic performance and student outcomes, and the school may need to closely examine its instructional practices, attendance policies, and resource allocation to better support its students.
