Summary:
The 62002 zip code area of Alton, Illinois is home to 6 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Alton CUSD 11 district. This data set provides a mixed picture, with some standout schools like Alton High School and East Elementary School, but also significant challenges at the middle school level and district-wide achievement gaps.
Alton High School stands out with the highest enrollment, but its graduation rate and dropout rate are areas of concern. In contrast, East Elementary has the highest test scores in the district, particularly in science. However, Alton Middle School is the lowest-performing school, with very low test scores and a 1-star rating.
Across the district, there are high rates of chronic absenteeism and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the 62002 zip code area. Addressing these issues and the wide achievement gaps should be a top priority for the Alton CUSD 11 district. Identifying and replicating the successful practices at East Elementary could benefit the entire district.
