The school is part of the Waltham CCSD 185 district, which is ranked 258 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Waltham Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency. The school's ELA proficiency rates for all grades combined are significantly higher than the state average (51.7% vs. 41.2%), and its Science proficiency rates are also well above the state average (78% vs. 53.2%). However, the school's Math proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1% is higher than the state would likely prefer, indicating a need to address attendance issues. The school's relatively high spending per student ($16,199) and low student-teacher ratio (11.2) suggest the district is investing significant resources into the school, which may be contributing to its strong academic performance. Overall, Waltham Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school, but there may be room for improvement in Math proficiency and attendance.
