Summary:
The city of Warsaw, Illinois is home to two schools: Warsaw Senior High School and Warsaw Elementary School, both part of the Warsaw CUSD 316 district. While Warsaw Senior High appears to be a relatively strong high school, Warsaw Elementary is struggling across multiple performance metrics.
Warsaw Senior High School outperforms the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science on standardized tests, has a high four-year graduation rate of 89.0%, and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. In contrast, Warsaw Elementary lags behind state averages in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.1% to 50%. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates at 25.4%, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by students.

This disparity in resources may be a factor in the performance gap between the two schools. Overall, the information highlights the need for the district to address the challenges at Warsaw Elementary, particularly in the areas of academic achievement and chronic absenteeism, in order to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students in the community.
