Summary:
The city of Waltonville, Illinois is home to two schools - Waltonville Grade School and Waltonville High School, both part of the Waltonville CUSD 1 district. While the grade school appears to be the stronger performer overall, the district as a whole is struggling, ranking in the bottom 30% of districts in Illinois.
Waltonville Grade School outperforms the state averages in ELA and Science, but underperforms in Math. The school has relatively low chronic absenteeism at 10.7%. In contrast, Waltonville High School has very low proficiency rates on the SAT Math exam, with 0% of 11th graders meeting or exceeding standards. However, the high school does maintain a respectable 87.5% four-year graduation rate.
Both schools have relatively high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, at 46.08% for the grade school and 40.7% for the high school. The small enrollments, especially at the high school level, may limit the schools' ability to offer a wide range of courses and extracurricular activities. The district should explore ways to collaborate with neighboring districts to expand educational opportunities for students and address the identified challenges to provide a higher-quality education for all.
