Summary

Willard Elementary School is a public elementary school in Moline, Illinois, serving 176 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, which is ranked 659 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willard Elementary School consistently performs below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.4% of Willard students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 26.4%, while the district and state had 28.3% and 38.5%, respectively. Willard Elementary School also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.4% to 30.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Willard Elementary School to other nearby schools within the same district, it becomes evident that Willard is one of the lower-performing schools. For example, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School and Hamilton Elementary School, which are also part of the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, consistently outperform Willard in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school's relatively stronger performance in the Hispanic student subgroup and English Language Learner (ELL) subgroup suggests that Willard may have some effective strategies or resources in place to support these populations, which could potentially be replicated to benefit the school's overall academic performance.
