Summary:
The city of Wyoming, Illinois has only one public elementary school, Stark County Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years.
Stark County Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (17.8%) and Mathematics (18.5%) significantly lower than the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the Stark County CUSD 100 district-level averages. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 61.9% is a relative strength, exceeding the state average of 53.2%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1%.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's performance, as it has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (46.53%) and the district's per-student spending is $11,517. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is slightly lower than the state average, but this does not appear to be enough to overcome the academic challenges faced by Stark County Elementary School. Targeted interventions and support, as well as addressing the root causes of the performance gaps, could be crucial in improving student outcomes at this school.
