Braceville Elementary School

Summary:

Braceville Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Braceville, Illinois, serving 122 students. The school is part of the Braceville School District 75, which is ranked 788 out of 813 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Braceville Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and just 7.1% of 4th graders and 0% of 5th, 7th, and 8th graders met or exceeded mathematics standards, well below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5% is also much higher than the state average. These factors have contributed to Braceville Elementary School's ranking of 1,611 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby schools, Braceville Elementary's performance is significantly lower. For example, Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School, located about 8.6 miles away, had much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (34.3%) and Mathematics (38.8%) for the 2023-2024 school year. Similarly, L.J. Stevens Intermediate School, about 8.3 miles away, had proficiency rates of 45% in English Language Arts and 41.9% in Mathematics. This suggests that Braceville Elementary School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its academic and attendance challenges and improve educational outcomes 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.
