Red Bud Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with 50.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 25.3% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school particularly excels for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for female students, special education students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students in ELA. Additionally, Red Bud Elementary shines in science, with 60.8% of students proficient or better, surpassing the state average of 53.2%.

For example, Sparta Lincoln School, which is 16.44 miles away, had significantly lower proficiency rates in both ELA (24.4%) and Mathematics (13.6%) in 2023-2024. Red Bud Elementary's success can be attributed to factors such as its higher spending per student ($10,718 in 2022-2023) and lower student-teacher ratio (14.1 in 2022-2023), both of which are above the state averages and may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.

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.
