Willow Springs School District 108

Willow Springs School District 108 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Willow Springs. The district has only one school, Willow Springs Elementary School, which provides education for students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.

Willow Springs Elementary School has a statewide ranking of 960 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exam is mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.4% in 3rd grade English Language Arts to 54.6% in 8th grade English Language Arts, and from 16.2% in 6th grade Mathematics to 35.5% in 8th grade Mathematics. The school's overall proficiency rates are 40.4% in English Language Arts and 25.7% in Mathematics, both of which are below the state averages. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate of 48% is lower than the state average of 53.2%.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,547 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, the academic performance data suggests that the school is facing challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 72.93%, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues observed.
