Thomasboro Grade School

Summary:

Thomasboro Grade School is an elementary school located in Thomasboro, Illinois, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the Thomasboro CCSD 130 district, which is ranked 728 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thomasboro Grade School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.7% to 48.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall proficiency rate in IAR/English Language Arts was 25.8%, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and in IAR/Mathematics, the proficiency rate was only 11.8%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school's performance for specific student groups, such as White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is particularly concerning, with these students ranking in the bottom 5% and bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Thomasboro Grade School, ranging from $12,365 to $18,147 over the past few years, the school's academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this level of investment. In comparison, the nearby schools, such as M L King Junior Elementary School, Garden Hills Elementary School, and Stratton Elementary School, have spending per student ranging from $14,080 to $18,316, which is generally lower or comparable to Thomasboro Grade School, but they tend to perform better academically.

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.
