Summary:

The Deland-Weldon CUSD 57 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 3 schools: Deland-Weldon Elementary School, Deland-Weldon High School, and Deland-Weldon Middle School. The district serves a community with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Deland-Weldon Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the IAR assessments, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 may contribute to its stronger academic performance. In contrast, Deland-Weldon Middle School lags behind the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the IAR assessments.

The most significant improvement has been seen at Deland-Weldon High School, which has moved from the bottom quartile in the state to the top half over the past few years. The high school's 9th and 10th grade students have outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts on the PreACT Secure assessment, and the school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.6 may be a contributing factor to its improved performance. However, the high school still struggles in Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
