Summary:
The Genoa Kingston CUSD 424 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Kingston Elementary School and Genoa Elementary School. While the schools share similarities in their student demographics and district-level performance, the data reveals some notable differences in their academic standings and trends.
According to the analysis, neither school stands out as a clear standout performer. Kingston Elementary School currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks 858 out of 2,020 Illinois elementary schools, while Genoa Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 913 out of 2,082 schools in 2021-2022 to 1,213 out of 2,067 schools in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating. Both schools have similar free and reduced lunch rates, around 40%, and chronic absenteeism rates, around 10%.
The data also reveals that Genoa Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on the IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics assessments, while its performance on the ISA/Science assessment has been slightly above average. In contrast, Kingston Elementary School has a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic standing. Overall, the analysis suggests that both schools could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address areas of academic underperformance and improve student learning outcomes.
