Summary:
The Waltonville CUSD 1 district in Illinois serves two schools: Waltonville Grade School and Waltonville High School. While Waltonville Grade School has performed above the state average in English Language Arts and Science, it has significantly underperformed in Mathematics. Waltonville High School, on the other hand, has struggled with Mathematics proficiency on the SAT, with 0% of 11th-grade students meeting or exceeding the proficiency standard.
Both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates. However, the district has invested in smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 10.4 at Waltonville Grade School and 9.0 at Waltonville High School. This suggests a focus on providing more personalized attention to students.
The data also reveals a concerning issue at Waltonville High School, with a high dropout rate of 12.5% in 2021-2022, despite a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5%. This indicates that the district should investigate the factors contributing to the high dropout rate and implement strategies to support student retention and success.
