Patoka Elementary School

Summary:

Patoka Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-5 in the rural town of Patoka, Illinois, with just 114 students enrolled. While the school is part of the Patoka CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 669 out of 813 districts in the state, Patoka Elementary's academic performance has been consistently below the state averages across all grades and subjects.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.8% of Patoka Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 15%, compared to 28.4% statewide. When compared to nearby schools like Jordan Elementary and Schiller Elementary, Patoka Elementary's academic performance is also generally lower. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.8% in 2019-2020 to 10.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.

However, Patoka Elementary's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is better than its overall performance, ranking 657 out of 1,793 Illinois elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, while Patoka Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, it is not the lowest-performing school in the immediate vicinity, with schools like Odin Attendance Center K-8 and Sandoval Elementary having even lower academic proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. This suggests that Patoka Elementary may have opportunities to learn from and collaborate with higher-performing nearby schools to improve its own outcomes.

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.
