Summary:
The city of Wauconda, Illinois is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in the Wauconda CUSD 118 district show a mix of strong performance and areas for improvement.
Robert Crown School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Wauconda Grade School has shown steady improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating over the past 3 years, likely due to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5.
While the district's schools generally perform better than the state averages in English Language Arts, they lag behind in Mathematics, with Wauconda High School having a 11th-grade SAT Math proficiency rate of 21.8%, compared to the state average of 26.1%. Additionally, Wauconda High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.4%, which is an area of concern.
