The district is ranked 738 out of 811 districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student performance and outcomes.
East Alton-Wood River High School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking 516 out of 698 Illinois high schools in 2024-2025 (1 star), 417 out of 697 in 2023-2024 (2 stars), and 434 out of 699 in 2022-2023 (2 stars). The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests, including the ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT, is generally below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 68.08% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher per-student spending of $18,952, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains below state standards. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique challenges faced by the low-income community it serves.
