Summary:
The Wethersfield CUSD 230 district in Illinois serves students from two schools - Wethersfield Elementary School and Wethersfield Junior/Senior High School. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary school appears to be struggling in comparison.
Wethersfield Junior/Senior High School is ranked 170 out of 698 Illinois high schools and earns a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a strong 89% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the district and state averages on key test score metrics. In contrast, Wethersfield Elementary School is performing closer to the district average, with a 3 out of 5 star rating and test scores generally in line with or slightly below the district and state.
Both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and potential equity concerns, as the elementary school has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. The district may want to investigate the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two schools and ensure equitable resource allocation across grade levels.
