Trico Elementary School

Summary:

Trico Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Campbell Hill, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 456 students. The school is part of the Trico CUSD 176 district, which is ranked 428 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trico Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a notable increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 7.8% in 2019-2020 to 30.2% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average of 14.9%. Academically, the school's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.6% of Trico students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 21.5% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 28.4% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and White students consistently performing below their peers.

While Trico Elementary School has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $8,353 in 2019-2020 to $14,130 in 2022-2023, this increased funding has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Coulterville Elementary School and Pinckneyville Elementary School, Trico Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures, suggesting that there may be successful practices or strategies that Trico could learn from to address its challenges and improve student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
