Elementary Schools in Delavan CUSD 703

Summary:

Delavan CUSD 703 has only one elementary school, Delavan Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 209 students. The school is ranked 1292 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delavan Elementary School is performing below the state average in both ELA and Math proficiency, with significant gaps of over 10 percentage points in both subjects for the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, indicating potential issues with student engagement. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 53.11%, suggesting a student population with significant economic challenges.

While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 9.9, this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The district and school leadership may want to closely examine the root causes of the school's underperformance and develop targeted strategies to address these issues, such as improving student attendance and engagement, and providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students.
