Summary:
The Bluford Unit School District 318 in Illinois operates two schools: Bluford Grade School, an elementary school, and Webber High School. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, indicating a concerning trend in the district's performance.
Bluford Grade School is ranked 1350 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and performs significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.0%. In contrast, Webber High School is ranked 602 out of 697 Illinois high schools and performs very poorly on the SAT assessments, with only 4.2% of 11th-grade students proficient in both Mathematics and English Language Arts.
While both schools have relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, these resources do not seem to be translating into better outcomes for the students. The district as a whole is performing poorly, ranking 697 out of 813 districts in Illinois and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing the underlying issues, such as chronic absenteeism and low academic achievement, will be crucial for the district to improve and provide a better educational experience for its students.
