Elementary Schools in Bethel School District 82


Summary:

The Bethel School District 82 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Bethel Grade School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 145 students.

Bethel Grade School appears to be a relatively low-performing school compared to state averages, with proficiency rates below state levels in most subject areas and grade levels. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly above the state average. While the school has a higher spending per student and smaller class sizes, it is still struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be at play.

Despite the challenges, the school does have some positive attributes, such as a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and science proficiency rates that are close to or above state averages in certain grade levels. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school likely presents additional challenges that the district and school need to address in order to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps with state-level performance.
