Summary:
The Grayville CUSD 1 school district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Wells Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 462nd out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 739th out of 2,077 in 2022-2023.
Wells Elementary School has seen mixed results on standardized tests, with some grades and subjects performing above the state and district averages, while others are below. In 2024-2025, the school had 58.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 50% proficient or better in Math, compared to the district averages of 56% and 34.5%, respectively, and the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 56.5% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 40.6%. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $14,529, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.6.
Despite the school's fluctuating performance, it appears to be the only elementary school serving the Grayville CUSD 1 district, and it serves a predominantly low-income population, with 73.91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's relatively high spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it has access to significant resources, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
