Community Cons School

Summary:

Community Cons School is an elementary school located in Pinckneyville, Illinois, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 203 students. The school is part of the CCSD 204 district, which is ranked 540 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Community Cons School has faced academic challenges, with its statewide ranking ranging from 887 out of 2,093 Illinois elementary schools in 2013-2014 (3 stars) to 1,622 out of 2,037 in 2017-2018 (1 star). In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 1,134 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and received a 2-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels, with particularly concerning performance in 3rd grade ELA, where only 8% of students were proficient compared to the state's 30.6%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly among different student groups, with white students and female students performing significantly worse than their peers.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Waltonville Grade School, Sesser-Valier Elementary School, and Pinckneyville Elementary School have generally outperformed Community Cons School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as in their statewide rankings. While Community Cons School's per-student spending has decreased, its student-teacher ratio has increased, which may be contributing to the academic struggles. Addressing these key areas of concern should be a priority for the school and CCSD 204 district to improve student 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.

I have a child and who attends this once highly recommended school and have lived in this community for many years.Our ISAT scores may be high, but that does not tell anything about the atmosphere or relationships at this school. Parents, students, and teachers work closely together to deal with the many changes that have been brought about in the last few years under our new "dictatorship" Our voices are not heard and opinions are pushed aside not having a supportive schoolboard. If you are planning on moving into this district, I suggest you contact several parents, community members, or teachers to hear the truth about our school. Attend a board meeting and witness parents and teachers being treated as if they do not matter. You may want to take these things into consideration as well: we have no arts or music program and have an extremely difficult time getting activities to be approved, no teachers aides to assist children or teachers, shortage of bus drivers, no school nurse, alot of unnecessary redtape to go through for sports and extra curricular activities, under the new leadership parents have not been welcomed into the school our own tax dollars are paying for, administration refuses to buy many of the teachers supplies and expects the teachers and parents to purchase them, wanting to do away with 8th grade graduation and many more circumstances parents and teachers have sadly, been struggling to deal with.

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.
