Summary:
The 62889 zip code has only one school, Field Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Field CCSD 3 school district, which is ranked 634 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Field Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, has been consistently lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels and school years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 29.5%, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 14.7%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. However, the school's science proficiency rate for all grades in 2023-2024 was 54.7%, slightly higher than the state average of 53.2%.
The school's challenges may be related to socioeconomic factors, as 32.77% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Despite having access to adequate resources, with a per-student spending of $10,935 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, these resources do not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement compared to the state averages.
