Stark County Elementary School

Summary:

Stark County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wyoming, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 303 students. The school is part of the Stark County CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 497 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stark County Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 17.8% compared to the state average of 41.2% and the district average of 30.2%. However, the school's performance in Science is relatively stronger, with a proficiency rate of 61.9% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 53.2% and the district average of 61.3%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and white students performing the poorest among the subgroups analyzed. Additionally, Stark County Elementary School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.0% in 2021-2022 to 19.1% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the state average.

Comparing Stark County Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Neponset Grade School, Brimfield Grade School, and Dunlap Grade School, reveals that Stark County's performance is generally lower in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. Neponset Grade School, in particular, stands out with significantly higher proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to Stark County. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, its academic performance remains significantly below state and district levels, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
