Westview Elementary School

Summary:

Westview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Canton, Illinois, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 398 students. The school is part of the Canton Union School District 66, which is ranked 493 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently lower, with the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades at 28.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 34.8% and the state's 41.2%. The school's performance is particularly low for White students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools in ELA and Mathematics. However, the school performs better for students with disabilities, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools in this subgroup. Additionally, Westview Elementary School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2019-2020 to 24.2% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

While Westview Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Eastview Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School, which are also part of the Canton Union School District 66, the school outperforms some of the more distant schools, such as Central Elementary School and Lewistown CUSD 97 schools, which have significantly lower proficiency rates. The school's higher spending per student compared to the district average suggests the school may be receiving additional resources, but this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the overall student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
