Summary:
The North Wamac School District 186 in Illinois has only one elementary school, North Wamac Grade School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 809th out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 919th out of 2,082 in 2021-2022.
North Wamac Grade School's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are below the state averages, with 35.4% proficient or better in ELA and 29.3% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. However, the school's performance varies across grade levels, with some grades performing better than others. The school's proficiency rate in Science, at 47.6%, is also lower than the state average of 53.2%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 98.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
Despite the school's overall academic challenges, it has a relatively small student population of 133 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which is slightly higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $11,542. These factors, along with the school's uneven academic performance across grade levels and subject areas, suggest that further investigation into the school's specific context and strategies could help identify ways to support its students and enhance educational outcomes.
