Summary:
The city of Wonder Lake, Illinois has only one school, Harrison Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 402 students. The school is part of the Harrison School District 36, which is ranked 631 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Harrison Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. The school's overall proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics (30.2% and 19%, respectively) are notably below the state averages (41.2% and 28.4%). Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 57.71%, indicating that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,787 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 for the 2022-2023 school year, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying factors contributing to the low academic performance, such as the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
