Argenta-Oreana Elementary School has a statewide ranking between 918-928 out of 2,067-2,082 Illinois elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of 3rd-grade ELA, which is slightly higher. However, the school's proficiency rate in Science is higher than the district average but slightly lower than the state average.
The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 49.55%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $12,520, which is higher than the national average of around $12,000 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.7, which is lower than the national average of around 16 students per teacher. These factors suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, but the academic performance data indicates that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.
