Summary:
The Delavan Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Delavan CUSD 703 district. With an enrollment of 224 students, the school faces some academic challenges, particularly in comparison to state averages.
Delavan Elementary School's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates of 23.9% in English Language Arts and 15.9% in Mathematics across all grades. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.9% is also higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (55.36%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Delavan Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. The school also spends $14,424 per student, which is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional funding is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Delavan Elementary School faces some significant hurdles in terms of academic performance, and the school may need to focus on addressing the factors contributing to the lower test scores and high chronic absenteeism rate.
