Summary:
The Sandwich CUSD 430 district in Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with W W Woodbury Elementary School and Prairie View Elementary School standing out as the top performers in the district.
W W Woodbury and Prairie View had the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. These two schools also had the lowest chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting a strong focus on attendance. In contrast, Lynn G Haskin Elementary School had the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district, which may be linked to its higher free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and attendance.
While the Sandwich CUSD 430 district as a whole performed well, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages, the data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. This disparity suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a crucial role in driving student outcomes.
