Summary:
The Winthrop Harbor School District 1 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Westfield School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 352 students. While Westfield School is the sole elementary school in the district, its performance on key metrics suggests there is room for improvement to better serve the community.
Westfield School is ranked 1195 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, which has been relatively consistent over the past few years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the district and state averages for all grades, 3rd grade, and 4th grade. Additionally, Westfield School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as Westfield School has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 57.67%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the national average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14:1 suggests a focus on smaller class sizes, which could be a positive factor in addressing the school's challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Westfield School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors, and there is room for improvement to better support the students and the community.
