Best Public Schools in Steward, IL


Summary:

The city of Steward, Illinois has a single public elementary school, Steward Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 70 students. The school is part of the Steward Education Service District 220.

Steward Elementary School has seen significant improvement in its statewide ranking over the past decade, moving from the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools in 2010-2011 to the top 16% in 2021-2022. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average in ELA and Math proficiency, while others fall short. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.4 to 1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. However, the school's spending per student of $16,146 is notably higher than the state average, and it's unclear how these funds are being utilized to support student outcomes.

One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is higher than the state average. This may be an issue that the school and district need to address to improve overall student engagement and performance. Overall, Steward Elementary School has made progress, but there are still opportunities for improvement in academic performance, particularly in areas where the school is underperforming compared to state averages.
