Bicentennial Elementary School

Summary:

Bicentennial Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Coal Valley, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 312 students. 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.

Bicentennial Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with 36.5% of students proficient or better in ELA and 29.8% in Math, compared to 25.8% and 16.8% for the district, respectively. The school's 5th-grade students particularly excel, with 51.1% proficient or better in ELA and 24.4% in Math. While Bicentennial generally outperforms other schools in the district, such as Roosevelt Elementary and George Washington Elementary, it lags behind the higher-performing schools like Hamilton Elementary and Jane Addams Elementary.

However, Bicentennial Elementary faces some challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (45.19% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.9% in 2019-2020 to 20.9% in 2022-2023. The school's performance for certain subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is lower than the overall school performance, indicating a need to address achievement gaps. Addressing these concerns and learning from the practices of the higher-performing schools in the district could further enhance Bicentennial Elementary's outcomes.

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.
