Odin Attendance Center K-8

Summary:

Odin Attendance Center K-8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Odin, Illinois, with 178 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Odin Attendance Center K-8 faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.9% to 42.3%, well below-average test scores (only 16.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 41.2%), and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (94.94% qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023). Despite spending more per student than the state average and most nearby schools, the school is not achieving better outcomes for its students. In comparison, Patoka Elementary School, which is 10.36 miles away, outperforms Odin Attendance Center K-8 on ELA and Math proficiency by a wide margin.

The consistent low performance of Odin Attendance Center K-8 suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed. Addressing the unique needs of the school's student population, which is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, could be a key factor in improving outcomes. Additionally, a closer examination of the school's resource allocation and the effectiveness of its instructional practices may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and ensure that the school's high spending is translating into better results for its students.

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.
