Summary:
The Steeleville CUSD 138 school district in Illinois consists of two schools: Steeleville Elementary School and Steeleville High School. While the high school is a standout performer, ranking in the top 10% of Illinois high schools, the elementary school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Steeleville High School has demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking 73 out of 699 Illinois high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, both schools struggle with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that fall below the state averages. Interestingly, the schools perform better on the Illinois Science Assessment, with the high school scoring significantly above the state average.
The data also reveals disparities between the two schools, with the elementary school having a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school. This suggests the student populations may differ in terms of socioeconomic status, which could have implications for the resources and support needed at each school. Additionally, the high school spends more per student and has smaller class sizes, indicating a potential prioritization of resources at the secondary level.
