Summary:

Glenn Raymond School is an elementary school located in Watseka, Illinois, serving 284 students in grades 1-5. It is part of the Iroquois County CUSD 9 district, which is ranked 292 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenn Raymond School's performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are generally higher than the state average, they are lower than the district average. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are significantly lower than both the state and district averages. However, the school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment is strong, with 75% of students proficient or better, which is higher than both the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and white students performing the weakest among the subgroups. Interestingly, students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively well at the school.

Comparing Glenn Raymond School to nearby schools, Wanda Kendall Elementary School has similar performance and demographic characteristics, but with a higher chronic absenteeism rate and lower student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Chebanse Elementary School and Donovan Elementary School both outperform Glenn Raymond School in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with higher proficiency rates and higher state rankings. The significant performance gap between white students and other subgroups at Glenn Raymond School is noteworthy and warrants further investigation, while the relatively strong performance of students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds suggests the school may be effectively supporting these student populations.

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.
