Summary:
The Geneseo CUSD 228 district in Illinois is home to three elementary schools: Millikin Elementary School, Southwest Elementary School, and Northside Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the three schools, Southwest Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 899 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Southwest Elementary outperformed the district and state averages in several test score categories, including 3rd grade math and 4th grade ELA. Northside Elementary School also demonstrated strong performance, particularly in 5th grade ELA, where it significantly outpaced the district and state averages.
While the schools generally underperformed the district and state averages in both ELA and math, there were some bright spots, such as Southwest Elementary's 3rd grade math performance and Northside Elementary's 5th grade ELA scores. The data also revealed variations in student demographics, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 27.99% at Millikin Elementary School to 38.74% at Southwest Elementary. These differences may contribute to the observed performance gaps and highlight the need for a more targeted approach to address specific challenges and promote greater equity across the district.
