Potomac CUSD 10

Potomac CUSD 10 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Potomac. The district has only one school, Potomac Elementary School, which provides education for students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with some grade levels performing well above the state average and others significantly below.

Potomac Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with the school's strongest performance in 5th grade ELA. However, the school struggles in 6th grade ELA, where only 18.2% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of 46.7%. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 20.5% of students proficient or better across all grades, compared to the state average of 28.4%. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate, which can contribute to the academic challenges.

The data suggests that Potomac Elementary School faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional barriers to academic success. To address these issues, the school may need to implement targeted interventions to support student learning and engagement, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and student attendance.
