Summary:
The city of Warsaw, Illinois is home to two schools - Warsaw Elementary School and Warsaw Senior High School, both part of the Warsaw CUSD 316 district. While Warsaw Senior High School is performing relatively well, ranking 217 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 3-star rating, Warsaw Elementary School is struggling, ranking 1366 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and earning only a 2-star rating.
The data reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools. Warsaw Senior High School has a 76.3% four-year graduation rate, above the state average, while Warsaw Elementary School's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below state averages. This disparity may be linked to differences in funding and resource allocation, as Warsaw Elementary School spends $13,855 per student compared to $16,527 per student at the high school.
Additionally, Warsaw Elementary School faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.5%, which could be impacting student learning and achievement. The demographic differences between the schools, such as the higher percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients at the high school, may also play a role in the performance gap. Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the challenges faced by Warsaw Elementary School and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Warsaw community.
