Summary:
The Opdyke-Belle-Rive CCSD 5 district in Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Opdyke-Belle Rive Grade School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This small school of 145 students has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with test scores that exceed state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
Opdyke-Belle Rive Grade School stands out for its low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.1%, indicating that students attend school regularly. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, which may contribute to its academic success. While the school spends more per student than the state average, at $17,991 per student, it has consistently ranked in the top 36% of Illinois elementary schools in recent years, according to the SchoolDigger rankings.
However, the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.86%) suggests potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation. It would be important to analyze the school's resource allocation and support systems to ensure that all students, regardless of their economic background, have the resources they need to succeed academically.
