Summary:
The city of Woodstock, Illinois is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Woodstock CUSD 200 district. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with some standouts like Woodstock High School and Creekside Middle School leading the way in academic achievement and student outcomes.
While the district-wide proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below state averages, a few schools, such as Creekside Middle, Woodstock High, and Greenwood Elementary School, stand out with significantly higher proficiency rates. However, chronic absenteeism remains a concern at some schools, with rates exceeding 35% at Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center and Woodstock North High School.
The data also suggests a potential correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending across the district, ranging from around $12,688 at Dean Street Elementary to $15,844 at Woodstock North High School, may contribute to the differences in school performance and could be an area for the district to address.
