Summary:
The Stewardson-Strasburg CUD 5A district in Illinois operates two schools: Stewardson-Strasburg Elementary School and Stewardson-Strasburg High School. The high school stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top 26% of Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a 89.0% four-year graduation rate and outperforming state averages on ACT and PreACT assessments, the high school provides a quality education for its students.
In contrast, the elementary school faces some challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency, which declines in the upper grades. However, the school does outperform state averages in English Language Arts on the IAR assessment. Both schools have relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, around 25%, which likely impacts student learning. Additionally, the district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the Stewardson-Strasburg CUD 5A district has a strong high school but could benefit from further analysis and improvement efforts, particularly around mathematics instruction and student attendance, to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
