Summary:
The 60480 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Willow Springs Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 399 students. The school is part of the Willow Springs School District 108, which is ranked 403 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Willow Springs Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.4%) and Mathematics (25.7%) below the state averages. However, 8th-grade students perform better than the state average in ELA (54.6% vs. 49.9%) but lower in Mathematics (35.5% vs. 28.1%). The school's science proficiency rate of 48% is also below the state average of 53.2%. Additionally, Willow Springs Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.2%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive attributes, such as a higher per-student spending of $18,547 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.3, suggesting a focus on resource allocation. However, these resources do not appear to be fully translating into improved student outcomes, and the school's predominantly low-income student population (72.93% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) may require additional support and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance.
