Summary:
Rockdale School District 84 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Rockdale Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 251 students. The school's performance is generally below state averages, ranking 1513 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rockdale Elementary School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.7% and consistently underperforms the state averages in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency. Only 27.1% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and only 15.3% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students (69.72%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student ($19,591) and a lower student-teacher ratio (11.4) than the state average, the school is still struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes. This suggests that simply increasing funding and staffing may not be enough to improve the school's performance, and that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be addressed to support student success.
