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.
