Elementary Schools in Wauconda CUSD 118

Summary:

The Wauconda CUSD 118 district in Illinois is home to three elementary schools: Robert Crown School, Cotton Creek School, and Wauconda Grade School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade within the Wauconda community.

Among the three elementary schools, Robert Crown School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Wauconda Grade School lags behind the other two schools in overall academic performance, particularly in 5th grade.

While Wauconda Grade School has the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The significant differences in free and reduced-price lunch rates among the schools suggest potential socioeconomic disparities within the district, which could be impacting student performance. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, around 25%, is an area of concern that the district may need to address.
