Elementary Schools in Limestone Walters CCSD 316

Summary:

The Limestone Walters Elementary School is the sole elementary school located within the Limestone Walters CCSD 316 district in Illinois. Serving 186 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, the school has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Limestone Walters Elementary School has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 school years, indicating it is performing above average compared to other Illinois elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the district and state averages, with an exceptional 81.3% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in science in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school's relatively small student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 may contribute to its academic success.

While the school serves a population with moderate socioeconomic challenges, with 31.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, its strong academic performance suggests it is effectively addressing the needs of its student body. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year is an area that could benefit from further attention and improvement.
