Summary:
The Harrisburg CUSD 3 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: West Side Primary School and East Side Intermediate School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide educational opportunities in the Harrisburg area.
Among the notable findings, East Side Intermediate School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 1165th out of 2082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 895th out of 2067 in 2023-2024. Additionally, East Side Intermediate has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates still lag behind the district and state.
Both schools face challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, with West Side Primary School at 31.2% and East Side Intermediate School at 25.5% in 2023-2024. Additionally, a significant proportion of students at both schools are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. The district may need to focus on addressing these issues to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
