Best Public Schools in Bethalto, IL

Summary:

The city of Bethalto, Illinois is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Based on the data analysis, Civic Memorial High School stands out as the top-performing school in the Bethalto district, ranking in the top 190 high schools in Illinois and boasting a strong 95.6% four-year graduation rate.

While Civic Memorial High School excels in areas like science proficiency and SAT English Language Arts, the elementary and middle schools in the Bethalto CUSD 8 district generally lag behind state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. This suggests a need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the earlier grade levels. Additionally, the district faces significant economic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools, which may impact student learning and engagement.

Another area of concern is the varying chronic absenteeism rates, particularly the high rate of 17.2% at Civic Memorial High School. By addressing these disparities and leveraging the strengths of Civic Memorial High School, the Bethalto CUSD 8 district can work to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all students in the area.
