Summary

Wethersfield Elementary School in Kewanee, Illinois, enrolls 296 students in pre-K through grade 6 and is part of Wethersfield CUSD 230. In 2025–26, 65% of students met proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and 40% in math, both above state results. The clearest takeaway for families is that ELA is a strength, while math is less competitive with nearby schools and fifth-grade science is a concern.

Compared with the state, the school was 9 points higher in ELA and essentially level in math; it was 6 points below the district in ELA and about level in math. Its ELA result also topped the 59% average among nine nearby schools with reported scores, while its math result trailed their 45% average. Fifth-grade science was 43%, below the state’s 48% and the nearby-school average of 55%. Results differ by grade: third-grade ELA was a standout at 84%, while fifth-grade ELA was 39% and fourth-grade math was 37%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, and SchoolDigger group rankings are school-level indicators rather than individual student outcomes.

ELA and math scores have risen since 2023–24: ELA increased from 44% to 65%, and math from 24% to 40%. Even so, SchoolDigger’s statewide rating eased from the 63rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 58th in 2025–26, with 3 stars. Its “Low Socio Economic Status Students” group ranked at the 93rd percentile, up from 55 in 2023–24, a notable SchoolDigger measure of how well the school serves that group. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–26, the lowest reported rate among nearby schools. In SY 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 14.4:1, and 49% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—a middle-of-the-pack share among nearby schools.
