Wethersfield CUSD 230

The Wethersfield CUSD 230 district in Illinois serves students from two schools: Wethersfield Elementary School and Wethersfield Junior/Senior High School. While the elementary school shows average performance, the high school stands out as a strong performer, ranking 53rd out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wethersfield Junior/Senior High School boasts an impressive 94.6% four-year graduation rate and outperforms district and state averages on key test score metrics, including 45.2% proficiency in SAT Math and 48.4% proficiency in SAT English Language Arts for 11th-grade students. The school also excels in science, with 79.7% of students proficient or better on the ISA Science assessment. In contrast, Wethersfield Elementary School has more average performance, with a 3-star rating and test scores generally in line with or slightly below district and state averages.

While the data suggests the secondary education programs in the district are more effective than the elementary programs, there are some areas of concern. The high school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4%, and the elementary school has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 56.41% compared to the high school's 48.21%. These factors may indicate equity challenges within the district that warrant further investigation to ensure all students have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
