The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is also consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.9% of students at Eagle Ridge School were proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with 0% of students proficient or better in grades 3-7 in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Jane Addams Elementary School, Hampton Elementary School, and George O Barr School, generally outperform Eagle Ridge School in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. These findings suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism at Eagle Ridge School, potentially through collaboration with the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.

So my daughter goes to Eagle Ridge school in Silvis near Colona. Since kindergarten she has been bullied and my family and I have reported it to the principal and assistant principal every year. In years past it been all verbal but this year it was physically. Just a few days ago my daughter was physically assaulted by 3 girls while two teachers watched, and nothing happened to the 3 girls. So they next day my child gave the 3 girls the finger and had to sit in the office for the rest of recess, also this day the same 3 girls physically assault another girl. Only for one of the girls to be suspended for 3 days and the other 2 walked away with no punishment. I have decided to remove my daughter from the school and dont plan on taking her back.
The school is acting as if no big deal that my child doesn't feel safe enough at school to come back. This school is unsafe and uncaring of the child that they claim to want to protect, nurture and mold, yet they let kids physically assault other kids, without an consequence. Close Quote

Eagle Ridge is an excellent school with a dedicated staff. The students are encouraged to reach the highest potential possible and all enjoy their class time. It's hard to find such dedicated teachers and staff. Close Quote

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.
