Summary:
The Elverado CUSD 196 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Elverado Primary School (grades PK-2) and Elverado Intermediate School (grades 3-5). While the district allocates significant resources to its schools, the data suggests these elementary schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students.
Elverado Intermediate School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 577th in 2021-2022 to 1,068th in 2023-2024. Both schools also have high rates of chronic absenteeism, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a student population with a high percentage of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the free and reduced-price lunch rates exceeding 70%.
Academically, the schools are underperforming, with Elverado Intermediate School particularly concerning. Only 25.3% of its students are proficient or better in both ELA and Math, and its 3rd-grade performance is especially low, with just 3.8% proficient in ELA and 11.5% in Math. The district as a whole is ranked 465th out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a below-average performing district.
