Summary:
The Benton CCSD 47 school district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Benton Grade School K-4. This school serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade and has faced some challenges in recent years, including underperformance compared to state averages and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Benton Grade School K-4 is ranked 1089 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts (31.6%) and Mathematics (21.4%) are significantly lower than the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (62.88%), suggesting that the student population faces significant economic challenges.
Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the past few years, with rankings between 1089 and 1192 and a consistent 2-star rating. To improve the school's performance, the Benton CCSD 47 district and school leaders may need to implement targeted strategies to address the high chronic absenteeism rate and provide additional support and resources to help students achieve academic success.
