Summary:
Ricms is an elementary school located in Rock Island, Illinois, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 436 students. Despite being part of the Rock Island School District 41, which is ranked 708 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Ricms has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1251 and 1633 over the past 10 years, and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ricms consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with only 16.2% of its students proficient or better in ELA and 18.3% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20.8% and 15.4% for the district, and 41.2% and 28.4% for the state, respectively. Additionally, Ricms has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.3% to 23.2% over the past 5 school years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than their peers at the school but still lagging behind state averages, while White and Special Education students perform significantly worse than their peers at the school and state levels.
Despite spending $12,954 per student, which is higher than the district average of $11,063 and the state average, Ricms' academic performance remains poor. When compared to other nearby schools in the Rock Island School District, such as Earl H Hanson Elementary School and Eugene Field Elementary School, it becomes clear that Ricms is one of the lower-performing schools in the district, with both of these schools outperforming Ricms in ELA and Mathematics proficiency, as well as having lower chronic absenteeism rates. These findings suggest that Ricms may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its most vulnerable student populations and re-evaluate its resource allocation to better support student learning and success.
