Summary:
The city of Moline, Illinois is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this district serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Jane Addams Elementary School and Hamilton Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, suggesting the need for the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district to address inequities and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
The standout schools in the district include Jane Addams Elementary, which has 39.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 37.8% in Mathematics, as well as Hamilton Elementary, which has 35.4% and 28.8% proficiency rates in those subjects, respectively. These schools also have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, indicating a strong focus on student engagement and attendance. In contrast, some schools like Lincoln-Irving Elementary and Willard Elementary struggle, with less than 20% of students proficient in core academic areas.
The district's lone high school, Moline Senior High School, performs better than the district average, with an 88.3% graduation rate and a 2.2% dropout rate. However, the two middle schools, Woodrow Wilson and John Deere, both struggle, with less than 30% of students proficient in English Language Arts and less than 15% in Mathematics. This suggests the district may need to focus on improving middle school performance to ensure students are well-prepared for high school.
