Summary:
The East Alton School District 13 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Eastwood Elementary School and Washington Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
Based on the available data, neither Eastwood Elementary nor Washington Elementary can be considered standout schools. Eastwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all significantly lower than the state averages. Washington Elementary does not have any ranking information provided, but its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.82%, suggests that the school also faces significant socioeconomic challenges.
The financial information for the two schools reveals an uneven distribution of resources within the district. Eastwood Elementary has a higher per-student spending of $16,291 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.3, while Washington Elementary has a lower per-student spending of $10,689 and a higher student-teacher ratio of 34.6. This disparity in resource allocation may be contributing to the overall low performance of the schools in the district. Despite the challenges, the data does not show any significant improvement in the schools' performance over the past three years, indicating a need for more effective interventions and strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
