Summary:
The 61489 zip code area is home to three schools - Williamsfield Elementary School, Williamsfield High School, and Williamsfield Middle School, all part of the Williamsfield CUSD 210 district. While the schools vary in size and performance, the data reveals some standout institutions and areas for potential improvement across the district.
Williamsfield Elementary School emerges as the highest-performing school, ranking in the top 35% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in 4th grade ELA and math proficiency. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, the school appears to be providing a quality educational experience for its students. In contrast, Williamsfield High School stands out for its exceptional 90.5% proficiency rate on the ISA Science exam, significantly outpacing the state average of 52.2%.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20.6% at the elementary school to 25.2% at the high school. Additionally, the wide variation in free/reduced lunch rates, from 16.67% at the high school to 43.2% at the elementary school, suggests potential socioeconomic differences that may impact academic performance. While per-student spending is similar across the three schools, the varying results raise questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the factors that contribute to academic outcomes beyond just funding.
