Summary:
The city of Sandwich, Illinois is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Sandwich CUSD 430 district. The standout schools in the district are W W Woodbury Elementary School and Prairie View Elementary School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
At the secondary level, Sandwich Community High School has a 90.3% four-year graduation rate, but its proficiency rates in Math (18%) and ELA (26.6%) lag the state averages. The Sandwich Middle School has stronger ELA proficiency (48.9%) but lower Math (21.5%) compared to state levels. Chronic absenteeism is an issue across the district, particularly at the high school level.
The district serves a diverse student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 31.47% at Prairie View Elementary to 45.25% at Lynn G Haskin Elementary School. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, but do not appear to directly correlate with the highest-performing schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels, such as instructional quality and school leadership, may be more influential on student outcomes.
