Allen School School

Summary:

Allen School School is an elementary school located in La Moille, Illinois, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 94 students. The school is part of the La Moille CUSD 303 district, which is ranked 743 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Allen School School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for most years.

The analysis of Allen School School's data reveals several areas of concern. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.5% in 2019-2020 to 19.6% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 30.6% and 33.8%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.06% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

When comparing Allen School School to nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Dimmick Community Cons School District 175, located about 12 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as a higher percentage of students meeting or exceeding state standards in science. The school's performance on the IAR for specific student subgroups, such as female and male students, is also concerning, as the school ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools for both groups in ELA and Math in 2018-2019.

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.
