Jerseyville East Elementary School

Summary:

Jerseyville East Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in Jerseyville, Illinois, with 384 students. The school is part of the Jersey CUSD 100 school district, which is ranked 355 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jerseyville East Elementary School has some strengths, such as higher overall test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. However, the school also faces challenges, including a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.1% in 2020-2021 to 16.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and white students performing worse than the state average. Students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds also perform below the state average.

Compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Grafton Elementary School, Jerseyville East Elementary School generally performs better in test scores but has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (47.4% in 2022-2023) may be contributing to the lower performance of certain subgroups, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support. Despite increased spending per student, from $8,782 in 2019-2020 to $11,134 in 2022-2023, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from 480 out of 2,044 Illinois elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 655 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, indicating the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
