Neoga Elementary School

Summary:

Neoga Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 223 students in grades K-5 in Neoga, Illinois, which is part of the Neoga CUSD 3 district. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects.

Neoga Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.6%) and Math (24.4%) for the 2023-2024 school year were significantly lower than the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students performing relatively better than female and white students. Additionally, Neoga Elementary School has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2019-2020 to 14.2% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Teutopolis Grade School, Neoga Elementary School's performance is generally lower. This may be due, in part, to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. To improve, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions, addressing attendance issues, and exploring best practices from higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
