Summary:
The Patoka CUSD 100 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Patoka Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 114 students. While the school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics, it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, suggesting efficient resource allocation.
Patoka Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1110 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1527 out of 2082 in 2021-2022, indicating a potential decline in performance relative to other schools. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and mathematics are significantly below the state averages, with only 16.7% of 3rd graders and 27.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in these subjects, respectively, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 33.8%.
However, the school has performed better in science, with 55% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 53.2%. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 40.35% in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing and require additional resources and support to address.
