Summary:

The 61443 zip code in Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, located within the Wethersfield CUSD 230 and Kewanee CUSD 229 districts, provide education to a predominantly low-income student population.

Among the schools, Wethersfield Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with strong academic results in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school consistently ranks in the top half of Illinois elementary schools and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Irving Elementary School lags behind the district and state averages in academic proficiency.

The data also reveals significant variations in resource allocation, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 13.3:1 at Wethersfield Elementary to 33:1 at Lyle School. This disparity in staffing levels may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools. Overall, the elementary schools in the 61443 zip code face challenges in serving a high-need student population, with chronic absenteeism being a significant concern across the board.
