Field Elementary School

Summary:

Field Elementary School is a public school located in Texico, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Field CCSD 3 district, which is ranked 634 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Field Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and subgroup disparities. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.5% in 2019-2020 to 19.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average of 14.4% in 2020-2021. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's overall proficiency rate in ELA was 29.5% compared to the state's 41.2%, and in Math, it was 14.7% compared to the state's 28.4%. The school's performance on key subgroups, such as female students and white students, is also below the state averages.

When comparing Field Elementary School to nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school's performance is generally lower than its counterparts. For instance, Woodlawn Grade School, located 11.63 miles away, has higher academic proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate. Despite the increased spending per student at Field Elementary School, from $8,499 in 2019-2020 to $10,935 in 2022-2023, these investments have not yet translated into significant academic gains for the school. Addressing the combination of high chronic absenteeism, low academic proficiency, and a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Field Elementary School.

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.
