Lewistown CUSD 97


Summary:

The Lewistown CUSD 97 district in Illinois serves two schools: Central Elementary School and Lewistown Junior/Senior High School. While the high school appears to be the stronger performer, the data reveals significant academic challenges across the district.

Lewistown Junior/Senior High School outperforms Central Elementary School on several key metrics, including a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates. However, both schools struggle to meet state averages, with the elementary school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics being particularly low.

The data also highlights concerning issues such as high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, and the district's overall low performance compared to state averages. While resources do not appear to be the primary issue, with relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the significant performance gap between the elementary and high school suggests that systemic improvements may be needed across Lewistown CUSD 97 to address instructional practices, student engagement, and other factors contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools.
