Summary:
Geff CCSD 14 is a small school district in Illinois that serves only one elementary school, Geff Elementary School. With just 92 students, Geff Elementary has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 1,093rd out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, down from 636th out of 2,082 in 2021-2022.
Geff Elementary's academic performance is generally below the state average, with only 23.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16.9% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. However, the school's Science performance is a bright spot, with 65% of students proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 53.2%. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 57.61% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $11,525 and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.2, Geff Elementary has struggled to improve its academic outcomes. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution, and the school may need to focus on other factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, to drive improvements in student performance.
