Summary:

The Wheeling CCSD 21 school district in Illinois consists of 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools as well as lower-performing ones.

The top-performing schools in the district are Henry W Longfellow Elementary School, which ranks 549th out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, and J.W. Riley Elementary School, which ranks 635th and has a 3-star rating. These schools excel in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with significantly higher rates than the district and state averages. They also have the lowest chronic absenteeism rates and the lowest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.

Addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to resources across all schools in the Wheeling CCSD 21 district could be key areas for improvement.
