Summary:
South Wilmington CCSD 74 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of South Wilmington, with only one elementary school, South Wilmington Grade School, which educates students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has a total enrollment of 86 students and has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the years, ranking 736 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
South Wilmington Grade School's academic performance has shown some fluctuations, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 51% to 66.7% and Math proficiency ranging from 20% to 60% across different grade levels and years. However, the school's 2024-2025 proficiency rates in ELA (51%) and Math (44.9%) are close to or above the state averages. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 70% is significantly higher than the statewide average of 40.6%.
One area of concern for the school is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state's average. This could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with 29.07% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's per-student spending of $15,374 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.7 suggesting a commitment to providing resources and support to its students.
