Butterworth Elementary School

Summary:

Butterworth Elementary School is a public elementary school in Moline, Illinois, serving 249 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, which is ranked 654 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Butterworth Elementary has faced significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.2% to 39.8% over the past few years, well above the state average. The 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 district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Butterworth has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to other nearby schools within the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, Butterworth Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Butterworth's proficiency rates were 19.4% in ELA and 18.4% in Math, compared to higher rates at schools like Jane Addams Elementary (39.1% in ELA, 37.8% in Math) and Bicentennial Elementary (36.5% in ELA, 29.8% in Math). Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $16,477 at Butterworth Elementary, the school's academic performance remains well below the district and state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
