Summary:
The 61489 zip code area is home to three schools - Williamsfield Elementary School, Williamsfield High School, and Williamsfield Middle School, all part of the Williamsfield CUSD 210 district. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and showcase a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
Williamsfield Elementary School stands out as a consistent high performer, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools and boasting impressive test scores, with 81.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and 75.8% in Math. The school's 3rd-grade students, in particular, demonstrate exceptional performance, with 100% proficiency in both ELA and Math. In contrast, Williamsfield High School experienced a dip in performance in 2023-2024 but rebounded to a 3-star rating and 287th statewide ranking in 2024-2025, with a relatively high graduation rate of 89% and low dropout rate of 2.4%.
Across the district, the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and varying performance levels between the elementary, middle, and high school grades. The district's commitment to providing adequate resources is evident in the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $19,400 to $21,601, and favorable student-teacher ratios. However, the differences in free/reduced lunch rates, from 22% at Williamsfield High School to 42.15% at Williamsfield Elementary School, suggest a need to ensure equitable resource allocation and support for economically disadvantaged students.
