Mount Erie Elementary School

Summary:

Mount Erie Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades K-4 in the rural town of Mount Erie, Illinois, with a student population of just 57 students. Despite its small size, this school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Mount Erie Elementary School has shown exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 54.6% of 3rd graders at Mount Erie Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 63.3% for the North Wayne CUSD 200 district and 30.6% for the state. The school's consistent high performance is noteworthy, as it has maintained a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger over the years, even though the district it is part of is ranked 328 out of 813 school districts in Illinois.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Richland County Elementary and Johnsonville Elementary, Mount Erie Elementary School generally outperforms these schools in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.8 to 12.5 students per teacher, may be contributing factors to its strong academic performance, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's low chronic absenteeism rates, which are generally lower than the state average, may also play a role in its success.

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.
