Tampico Elementary School

Summary:

Tampico Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 166 students in grades PK-5 in Tampico, Illinois, which is part of the Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico CUSD 3 district.

Academically, Tampico Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school's 5th grade ELA and Science proficiency rates are higher than the district and state, its overall ELA and Math proficiency rates are below average. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.1% in 2019-2020 to 17.3% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school's performance for male students and low-socioeconomic status students is relatively strong compared to the overall school and state averages, suggesting the school may be effectively supporting these student populations.

When compared to nearby schools, Prophetstown Elementary School, which is also in the same district, has higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as lower chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Tampico Elementary School's ranking and star rating have declined over the past several years, from a high of 4 stars in 2013-2014 to 3 stars in recent years. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance is still below the state and district averages, indicating a need to re-evaluate how resources are allocated to better support student learning.

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.
