Summary:
The Porta CUSD 202 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Petersburg Elementary School and Porta Central. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data analysis reveals that Porta Central appears to be the stronger performing school of the two.
Porta Central has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 1233 out of 2082 schools in 2021-2022 to 973 out of 2067 schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science is generally higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Petersburg Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.4%, which is significantly higher than the 15.5% rate at Porta Central.
While the data suggests that Porta Central is the standout school in the district, the Porta CUSD 202 district as a whole is ranked 573 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This indicates that there may be room for improvement across the district to raise academic achievement and address areas of concern, such as the higher chronic absenteeism rate at Petersburg Elementary School.
