Summary:
Quincy Community Schools has one elementary school, Jennings Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school is located in a community with a predominantly white population, and over half of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Jennings Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are on par with or slightly above the state, its 4th grade proficiency rates in these subjects are below the state average. This suggests a potential area for improvement, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts. Additionally, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 51.72% indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,367, its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.3% is a concern and may be contributing to the academic performance challenges. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these areas of concern and improve student outcomes at Jennings Elementary School within the Quincy Community Schools district.
