Elementary Schools in Roxana CUSD 1

The Roxana CUSD 1 district in Illinois has two elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, neither South Primary School nor Central Intermediate School stand out as high-performing schools, as both have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools on the statewide School Digger rankings.

Key metrics show that both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, with South Primary School at 23.5% and Central Intermediate School at 19.9% for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the schools have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, with South Primary School at 64.54% and Central Intermediate School at 55.52% for the 2022-2023 school year. While spending per student is relatively high, at $18,595 for South Primary School and $16,150 for Central Intermediate School, the academic performance of the schools suggests the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and instructional practices.

Overall, the data indicates that the Roxana CUSD 1 district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The district may benefit from a comprehensive review of its practices and resources to identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies to address the observed issues, such as low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic needs of the student population.
