Wheeling CCSD 21

Summary:

The Wheeling CCSD 21 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 8th grade across 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools and 3 middle schools. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like Henry W Longfellow Elementary School and J W Riley Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the district and state, while others struggle to meet state averages.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. Schools with higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Oliver W Holmes Middle School and Walt Whitman Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.

The top-performing schools in the district, like Henry W Longfellow Elementary and J W Riley Elementary, have higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their success. This highlights the importance of investing in school resources and effective leadership to drive improvement across the Wheeling CCSD 21 district.
