Summary:

Tamaroa Elementary School is a small public school serving grades K-8 in the town of Tamaroa, Illinois. With just 91 students, the school stands out for its high percentage of white students (92.31%) and its low ranking compared to nearby schools, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Tamaroa Elementary lags behind the state averages and nearby schools in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. For example, the 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was just 14.3% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 28.8%. However, the school has seen a notable improvement in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 13.5% in 2017-2018 to 0% in 2020-2021. Additionally, Tamaroa Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention.

Compared to nearby schools like Oakdale Grade School, Nashville Grade School, and Elverado Primary School, Tamaroa Elementary stands out as having lower test scores, a lower school ranking, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (70.33%). However, the school's lower chronic absenteeism rate and favorable student-teacher ratio may be areas to build upon. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and targeting academic weaknesses could be key focus areas for Tamaroa Elementary's improvement efforts.

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.
