Summary:
The County of Winnebago School District 320 in Illinois has two elementary schools: Riverview Elementary School and Clark Elementary School. Both schools face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates and underperformance on state assessments compared to district and state averages.
Riverview Elementary School is ranked 1,430 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.6% and underperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Clark Elementary School, on the other hand, has an even higher chronic absenteeism rate of 33.3% and spends significantly more per student at $16,221 compared to Riverview's $12,049 per student.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While additional funding and resources may be needed, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted academic interventions, could be crucial in improving student outcomes in these schools.
