Summary

Murrayville-Woodson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 101 students in grades K-5 in Murrayville, Illinois, which is part of the Jacksonville School District 117. The school's academic performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams has been mixed, with 53.4% of students proficient or better in ELA, which is higher than the district (46.3%) but slightly lower than the state (53.1%), and 37.9% proficient or better in math, which is higher than the district (31.4%) but lower than the state (38.5%).

Compared to nearby schools, Eisenhower Elementary and South Jacksonville Elementary generally outperform Murrayville-Woodson in both ELA and math proficiency, while Lincoln Elementary has lower proficiency rates. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.5% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of around 15%.

While the school has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $13,578 in 2020-2021 to $18,889 in 2023-2024, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the inconsistent academic performance and equity concerns, such as the significant performance gaps between subgroups, suggest the school and Jacksonville School District 117 may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
