Summary:

Coulterville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Coulterville, Illinois, with an enrollment of 87 students.

Coulterville Elementary School has consistently performed better than the district and the state of Illinois in mathematics proficiency, with 54.5% of students proficient or better in IAR/Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to 29.6% for the district and 28.4% for the state. However, the school lags behind in English Language Arts proficiency, with only 20% of 3rd graders and 28.6% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 30.6% and 39.1%, respectively. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.8% in 2019-2020 to 22.0% in 2022-2023, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance in English Language Arts.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as New Athens Elementary and Okawville Grade School, Coulterville Elementary School generally performs worse in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, the school has seen a notable disparity in performance between female and male students, with the female students ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools in 2017-2018, while the male students ranked in the bottom 25%. Despite the school's spending per student being generally in line with nearby schools, it does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts.

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.
