Summary:

The Whiteside School District 115 in Illinois operates two schools - Whiteside Elementary School and Whiteside Middle School. Both schools serve a relatively high-need student population, with around 60% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools in the district. Both Whiteside Elementary and Whiteside Middle have similar performance metrics and rankings, with 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The schools have relatively low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages, and both struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, significantly above the state average. The per-student spending for the schools is slightly above the state average, but the student-teacher ratios are relatively low.

The consistent performance issues across grade levels within each school suggest a district-wide challenge in providing a high-quality education to students. The Whiteside School District 115 as a whole appears to be struggling to meet statewide academic standards, with both schools performing below the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes in the district.
