Summary:
Taft School District 90 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Taft Grade School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has consistently been below the state averages in Illinois, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism among its student population.
Taft Grade School has a statewide ranking of 1415 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Only 25.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and only 16.5% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school's performance has remained relatively consistent over the past few years, indicating a need for improvement in the quality of instruction and support provided to students.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,827, the low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.6% is a significant concern, as it can negatively impact student learning and academic progress. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving the overall educational experience for students at Taft Grade School should be a priority for the Taft School District 90.
