Summary:
The Rochelle CCSD 231 district in Illinois serves students from 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals notable differences in performance and characteristics across the schools in the district.
Rochelle Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 758 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and having the best test scores, with 38.1% of students proficient or better in ELA and 16.2% in Math. In contrast, Central Elementary School and Tilton Elementary School have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages.
The data also reveals high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Lincoln Elementary School and Rochelle Middle School, which may be contributing to the performance gaps. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all schools. The variation in per-student spending, with Lincoln Elementary having the highest and Central Elementary the lowest, may also be a factor in the performance differences.
