Summary:
The city of Galva, Illinois is home to two schools: Galva Elementary School and Galva Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Galva CUSD 224 district. While the high school has a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate, both schools have seen declines in their statewide rankings in recent years, indicating a need for improvement in academic performance.
Galva Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%. In contrast, Galva Junior-Senior High School's proficiency rates are more mixed, with 7th and 8th grade ELA being above the district and state, but 11th grade Math being well below. The high school's chronic absenteeism rate is even higher at 29.3%, which is a significant challenge.
Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, but Galva Junior-Senior High School spends more per student than the elementary school. Additionally, the high school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school community may be facing greater socioeconomic challenges. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the Galva school system.
