Summary:
The Hartsburg Emden CUSD 21 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Emden Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with an enrollment of 90 students.
Emden Elementary School's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts and math, while others fall below. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently ranking 965 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's lower-than-average statewide ranking, it has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and spends more per student than the state average, suggesting the district is investing resources into the school.
One area of concern for Emden Elementary is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 12.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is often linked to lower academic performance. Additionally, 41.11% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic performance and other metrics.
