Summary:
The 61330 zip code area is home to two small schools - Allen School School, an elementary school, and La Moille Junior/Senior High School, a combined junior and senior high school. Both schools have struggled academically, with consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects compared to state averages. The elementary school has a 1-star rating, while the high school's performance has been more variable, ranging from 2 to 4 stars.
Allen School School has a small enrollment of just 94 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6. However, the school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates well below state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6%. In contrast, La Moille Junior/Senior High School has an even smaller enrollment of 83 students and an even lower student-teacher ratio of 6.3. The high school's graduation rate of 80% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.2% is higher.
Overall, the schools in the 61330 zip code area face significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach involving the schools, the La Moille CUSD 303 district, and the local community. While the small class sizes could be a positive factor, they do not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for students in this area.
