Summary:
The Eastland CUSD 308 district in Illinois serves two schools: Eastland Elementary School and Eastland Junior/Senior High School. Based on the available data, Eastland Elementary School stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Eastland Elementary School demonstrates strong academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. For example, the school's 5th-grade students outperform the state in ELA (73.5% vs. 39.1%) and Math (43.4% vs. 26.8%). In contrast, the high school's performance is more mixed, with 11th-grade students performing above the state average in SAT Math but below the state average in SAT ELA.
Both schools in the Eastland CUSD 308 district have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and outcomes. The district's resource allocation, with higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios at the high school level, may indicate a focus on providing more support for secondary students. Overall, the data highlights the strengths of Eastland Elementary School while also revealing areas for improvement, particularly at the high school level.
