Summary:
The Rossville-Alvin Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Rossville-Alvin CUSD 7 district. While the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling well below state averages.
Rossville-Alvin Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 829 out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,372 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this time. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades in 2023-2024 were 27.4% and 14.5%, respectively, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%. Similarly, the school's Science proficiency rate of 46.2% was below the state average of 53.2%.
These academic challenges, coupled with the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, suggest that the district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes at Rossville-Alvin Elementary School. While the data does not provide a complete picture of the school's resources and teaching quality, the declining performance and significant proficiency gaps are concerning and indicate that the school may be struggling to keep up with state-level standards and expectations.
