Pearl City Elementary School

Summary:

Pearl City Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 206 students in grades PK-6 in Pearl City, Illinois, which is part of the Pearl City CUSD 200 district.

The school has seen mixed academic performance, with 38.4% of students proficient or better in ELA and 33.3% proficient or better in Math in 2023-2024, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. While 6th-grade students outperform the state and district, lower grades tend to lag behind. The school has a higher percentage of low-socioeconomic status students compared to the state, and female students have underperformed male students in recent years. Chronic absenteeism has been a concern, with a rate of 8.6% in 2023-2024, higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to some nearby schools like those in the Freeport School District 145.

Over time, Pearl City Elementary's academic performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuations in proficiency rates and rankings among Illinois elementary schools. While the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is a strength, the underperformance of female students is a concern. Addressing these areas, as well as the higher chronic absenteeism rates, could help the school improve its overall standing and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
