Summary

Lewis-Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 235 students in grades K-5 in Wood River, Illinois. The school is part of the Wood River-Hartford Education Service District 15, which is ranked 670 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lewis-Clark Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 32.3% over the past few years - significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Hartford Elementary (25.4%) and Parkside Primary (25.4%). The school's test scores are also generally below state and district averages, with only 42.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 29.1% in math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.

While the school's high poverty rates, with 69.83% to 78.72% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to these challenges, the data suggests there may be opportunities for Lewis-Clark Elementary to learn from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Meadowbrook Intermediate and Parkside Primary, both in the Bethalto CUSD 8 district. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,171 to $16,537 per year, suggests the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning and address the school's unique needs.
