Summary:
La Harpe Central School District 347 in Illinois contains a single La Harpe Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 881 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,104 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, with the exception of 3rd-grade ELA, which is slightly above the state average.

Despite the school's academic performance challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $14,846, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6, suggesting that resources are being allocated to the school. However, it is important to investigate how these resources are being utilized and whether they are effectively supporting student learning and academic growth. The school's higher percentage of students (53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, may be a contributing factor to the lower proficiency rates.
Overall, the data provides a snapshot of La Harpe Central School District 347's sole elementary school, highlighting areas where the school is performing well and areas that may require further attention and intervention to support student success. Analyzing the school's specific challenges and strengths, as well as exploring best practices from higher-performing schools, could help inform the development of a comprehensive improvement plan to enhance student learning and academic achievement.
