Summary:

The Wood River-Hartford Education Service District 15 in Illinois is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Lewis-Clark Elementary School and Hartford Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Lewis-Clark Junior High School). The district serves a diverse community, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.

However, the school struggles in mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the district and state. Similarly, Lewis-Clark Junior High School performs better than the district in ELA, but also lags behind in mathematics.
