Summary:
The Quincy School District 172 in Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole struggles with lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state, a few schools stand out as top performers.
Lincoln-Douglas Elementary School ranks the highest among the district's schools, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science. It also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Dr. Abby Fox Rooney Elementary School is the second-highest ranked school in the district, with strong proficiency rates and low chronic absenteeism as well. In contrast, Early Childhood has the highest chronic absenteeism rate, which may be linked to its high free and reduced lunch population.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, highlighting the need to examine factors contributing to these differences and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students. By identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools, the district can work towards improving overall educational outcomes for the community.
