Pine Crest Elementary School

Summary:

Pine Crest Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Georgetown, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 415 students. The school is part of the Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUD 4 district, which is ranked 666 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pine Crest Elementary School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.6% to 34.9%, which are significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Oakwood Grade School (21.6%) and Salt Fork South Elementary School (12.1%). Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and its nearby counterparts in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with only 25.2% of all grades proficient or better in ELA and just 10.7% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Pine Crest Elementary School, ranging from $9,616 to $14,383, the school's academic performance remains significantly below state averages. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need to explore strategies that can more effectively translate increased spending into improved student learning. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and supporting the needs of various student subgroups could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Pine Crest Elementary School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
