Summary:
The East Alton School District 13 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Eastwood Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance, as measured by test scores and state rankings, is consistently below the state and district averages, indicating that it is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students.
Eastwood Elementary School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 1462 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its ranking dropping from 1368 in 2021-2022 to 1433 in 2022-2023 and 1462 in 2023-2024. Only 19.4% of students are proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and just 12.1% are proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school's performance in Science is slightly better, with 45.8% of students proficient or better, but still below the state average of 53.2%.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $13,814, which is above the state average, Eastwood Elementary School's performance remains below average. The school also has a high percentage of students (45.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. These factors suggest that the school may be facing systemic challenges that are not being adequately addressed at the district or state level, and that a comprehensive review of the school's strategies, resources, and support systems is needed to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted interventions.
