Summary:

The Bethalto CUSD 8 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's performance is a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with some standout schools like Civic Memorial High School and Meadowbrook Intermediate School leading the way.

Civic Memorial High School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 190 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 89% 4-year graduation rate and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Meadowbrook Intermediate School also stands out among the elementary schools, ranking 781 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and achieving a 3-star rating, the highest in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with test scores generally below state averages, particularly in Mathematics, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%. Additionally, the schools have a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranging from 40.29% at Civic Memorial High School to 55.65% at Bethalto East Primary School. Addressing these issues could lead to improved academic outcomes across the Bethalto CUSD 8 district.
