Summary:

The Mattoon CUSD 2 district in Illinois consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance within the district, with some standout schools but also areas in need of improvement.

Arland D Williams Junior Elementary School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, ranking 818 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Mattoon High School and some of the other elementary schools, such as Riddle Elementary School and Franklin Elementary School, lag behind in academic performance compared to state averages.

The data also reveals some district-wide challenges, such as high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance of the Mattoon CUSD 2 district, which is ranked 517 out of 811 districts in Illinois and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Targeted interventions and district-wide improvement strategies may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for all students in the area.
