Summary:
There is only one elementary school located within the South Central CUD 401 district in Illinois - South Central Elementary-Kinmundy. This school serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade and is situated in a rural area.
Based on the available data, South Central Elementary-Kinmundy does not appear to be a standout school compared to state-level performance. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 1,178 and 1,311 out of 2,067 to 2,082 Illinois elementary schools over the past three school years, and it is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels, with only the Science proficiency rate being higher than the state average.
Further analysis reveals that the school faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (58.06% in 2022-2023), indicating a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio appear to be within reasonable ranges, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and address the academic performance gaps.
