Cuba Elementary School

Summary:

Cuba Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 183 students in grades PK-5 in Cuba, Illinois, which is part of the CUSD 3 Fulton County school district. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past several years, dropping from a rank of 494 out of 2,044 Illinois elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a rank of 1,273 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, with its SchoolDigger rating also declining from 4 stars to 2 stars during this time.

Academically, Cuba Elementary School is underperforming, with only 35.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4.3% of 3rd graders, 15.4% of 4th graders, and 0% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in mathematics, all significantly below state averages. The school's high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, at 50.27%, may be contributing to these academic challenges. Additionally, Cuba Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.8% in 2019-2020 to 20.3% in 2021-2022, well above the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Farmington Central Elementary School and Spoon River Valley Elementary School, Cuba Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and mathematics. While Cuba Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of $15,728, its student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is not significantly different from the nearby schools, suggesting that additional resources may be needed to address the school's academic and attendance challenges.

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.
