Summary:
The city of Oneida, Illinois is home to two schools: R O W V A Elementary School and R O W V A Junior and Senior High School, both part of the R O W V A Cusd 208 district. While the elementary school has shown strong performance in English Language Arts and Science, the high school stands out as the clear standout, with significant improvement in its statewide ranking and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The high school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, indicating that the school is effectively supporting its students. However, both schools struggle with Mathematics proficiency, with scores well below the district and state averages. This disparity in academic performance across subject areas is an area that the district may need to address. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, reaching 25.4%, could be contributing to the lower academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with the elementary school having a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 46.97%. The high school, while lower at 39.66%, still has a significant population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The district's allocation of resources, with the high school receiving significantly higher per-student spending ($19,283) compared to the elementary school ($10,351), suggests an effort to address these challenges and provide the necessary support for student success.
