Bowlesburg Elementary School

Summary:

Bowlesburg Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Silvis, Illinois, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 283 students. The school is part of the East Moline School District 37, which is ranked 719 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bowlesburg Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grades. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.3% of Bowlesburg students were proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts, compared to 41.2% statewide and 18.9% in the East Moline School District. Similarly, in IAR/Mathematics, only 20.1% of Bowlesburg students were proficient or better, compared to 28.4% statewide and 14.1% in the district. The school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, but struggles with White students and students with disabilities.

Bowlesburg Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools within the East Moline School District, such as Hillcrest Elementary, Ridgewood Elementary, and Wells Elementary. When compared to schools outside the East Moline School District, such as Jane Addams Elementary in the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, Bowlesburg's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds likely contributes to its academic struggles and high chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 7.0% in 2019-2020 to 25.3% in 2023-2024.

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.
