Summary:
The Fieldcrest CUSD 6 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Fieldcrest Primary School (grades PK-2) and Fieldcrest Intermediate School (grades 3-5). Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant academic challenges within the district.
Fieldcrest Primary School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.1% and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 55.33%. In contrast, Fieldcrest Intermediate School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and a slightly lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 53.63%. Both schools spend over $15,000 per student and have student-teacher ratios around 13:1.
The data reveals that academic performance at both schools is significantly below state averages, particularly in mathematics. At Fieldcrest Intermediate School, only 20.1% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and just 8.7% were proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. This suggests that the Fieldcrest CUSD 6 district faces systemic challenges in improving student outcomes and may require comprehensive, long-term strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.
