Best Public Schools in Winchester, IL


Summary:

The city of Winchester, Illinois is home to two schools - Winchester Elementary School and Winchester High School, both part of the Winchester CUSD 1 district. While Winchester Elementary has a relatively large enrollment of 411 students, Winchester High School has a smaller student body of 165. The elementary school has consistently ranked in the top half of Illinois elementary schools, though its ranking has declined slightly in recent years. In contrast, the high school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and star rating over the past 3 years.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average. However, they differ in their academic performance, with Winchester Elementary excelling in 4th grade English Language Arts but struggling in math, while Winchester High School has low proficiency rates in both SAT Math and SAT English Language Arts. Interestingly, the elementary school has a higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes compared to the high school, suggesting potential disparities in resource allocation within the district.

Overall, the data paints a mixed picture of the school district's performance, with some bright spots but also areas that require attention and improvement. Addressing the district-wide challenges in math education, chronic absenteeism, and ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities across all schools could be key priorities for the district moving forward.
