Elementary Schools in Iroquois County CUSD 9

Summary:

The Iroquois County CUSD 9 district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Glenn Raymond School and Wanda Kendall Elementary School. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and face significant challenges, with low academic performance and high poverty levels.

Based on the available data, neither school stands out as a top performer. Glenn Raymond School has consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, while Wanda Kendall Elementary School lacks any test score data. Both schools also have high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 25% in the 2024-2025 school year.

The economic challenges faced by the communities served by these schools are evident in the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching over 70% at both Glenn Raymond School and Wanda Kendall Elementary School. Additionally, there appears to be a funding disparity, with Wanda Kendall Elementary School spending significantly more per student than Glenn Raymond School. To address these issues, the Iroquois County CUSD 9 district may need to implement targeted interventions and allocate resources more equitably to support student success.
