Willow Springs Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics generally below the state average, though 8th-grade students performed better than the state in both subjects. The school's overall ELA proficiency rate is 40.4%, compared to the state average of 41.2%, while its Mathematics proficiency rate is 25.7%, significantly lower than the state's 28.4%. In the Illinois Science Assessment, the school's proficiency rate is 48%, lower than the state's 53.2%. The school also faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.2%, which may be impacting its academic outcomes.
Despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student ($18,547) and lower student-teacher ratio (13.3), the school's performance suggests that additional strategies and interventions may be needed to address the challenges faced by its predominantly low-income student population, with 72.93% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Further investigation into the school's specific approaches and the district's resource allocation could provide valuable insights to improve academic achievement and support the needs of the Willow Springs Elementary School community.
