Taft School District 90


Summary:

Taft School District 90 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Taft with a single elementary school, Taft Grade School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With an enrollment of 276 students, Taft Grade School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school district's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, Taft Grade School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.75%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.6%, which is well above the state average. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles and suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address any equity concerns and improve student outcomes.

While Taft School District 90 has only one school, the data analysis reveals that Taft Grade School is an underperforming institution that requires a closer examination of its resource allocation, instructional strategies, and efforts to address chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population. Improving the academic performance and overall well-being of students at Taft Grade School should be a priority for the district and the community it serves.
