Summary:
The city of Andalusia, Illinois has only one public school, Andalusia Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance, as measured by student proficiency on state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages, though it has maintained a middle-of-the-pack ranking among Illinois elementary schools over the past three years.
Andalusia Elementary School's ELA and Math proficiency rates for the 2023-2024 school year were 35.7% and 28.6%, respectively, compared to the Rockridge CUSD 300 district averages of 43.6% and 26.4%, and the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%. The school's Science proficiency rate was higher at 54.5%, but still below the district average of 67.3%. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.7, slightly above the recommended range, and per-student spending of $9,986, the school's resource allocation may be a factor in its academic performance.
While Andalusia Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to district and state benchmarks, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests the student population may be more affluent, which could contribute to the performance gap. Further analysis of the school's demographics and targeted interventions to address areas of concern could help improve student learning outcomes at the school.
