Summary:
The 61401 zip code area of Galesburg, Illinois is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Galesburg CUSD 205 district. While the schools share a common district, the data reveals significant variation in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Two elementary schools, Silas Willard Elementary School and Steele School, stand out as high-performing, with test scores that exceed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, King School struggles, with test scores well below the state benchmarks and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.8%.
The data also highlights the challenges faced by students during the transition to middle school, as evidenced by the drop in test scores at Lombard Middle School. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 may help provide more personalized attention for students. At the high school level, Galesburg Senior High School has a graduation rate of 85.4%, slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 2.7%, which is higher than the state average.
