Summary:
The 61364 zip code area is home to three elementary schools - Centennial Elementary School, Kimes Elementary School, and Woodland Elementary/Junior High School. While all three schools face significant academic challenges, with test scores well below state averages, Woodland Elementary/Junior High School stands out as the relative bright spot in the group.
Woodland Elementary/Junior High School had the highest proficiency rates on state assessments, the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, the lowest student-teacher ratio, and the highest per-student spending of the three schools. In contrast, Centennial Elementary School and Kimes Elementary School both struggled with very low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and higher student-teacher ratios.
The data suggests significant academic and socioeconomic challenges facing the elementary schools in this area, with high poverty levels and unequal resource allocation across the district. Addressing these disparities will be crucial to improving outcomes for students in the Streator Education Service District 44 and Woodland CUSD 5 communities.
